Trawniki [travˈniki] is a village (German: Trawnig) in the administrative district of Gmina Pawłowiczki, within Kędzierzyn-Koźle County, Opole Voivodeship, in southern Poland.

The name of the village is of Polish origin and comes from the word trawnik, which means "lawn".

In the Geographical Dictionary of the Kingdom of Poland from 1892, it was mentioned as Trawnik.

[3] Under Nazi Germany, the village was renamed to Grünweide in 1936 to erase traces of Polish origin.
