Parzymiechy [paʐɨˈmjɛxɨ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Lipie, within Kłobuck County, Silesian Voivodeship, in southern Poland.^[1] It lies approximately 6 kilometres (4 mi) north-west of Lipie, 20 km (12 mi) north-west of Kłobuck, and 89 km (55 mi) north of the regional capital Katowice.

Parzymiechy was first mentioned in 1266. It was a private village of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Wieluń County in the Sieradz Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.^[2]

In September 1939, during the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II, a battle was fought nearby. German troops burned the village on September 2, 1939, and murdered 75 Polish inhabitants, including 20 children (the Zimnowoda and Parzymiechy massacre [pl], see also Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).^[3]
