Sulików is a village in southwestern Poland, in Zgorzelec County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship. It is the seat of Gmina Sulików and lies near the Czech border. The village has about 2,000 residents.

In the early Middle Ages, Sulików was a stronghold of the Bieżuńczanie, a Polish tribe. From the 11th century, it was ruled by various powers, including Poland, the Czech lands, Hungary and Saxony. In 1815 it was annexed by Prussia, later becoming part of Germany (1871–1945). After World War II, the German population was expelled and Poles, many coming from areas that had been taken by the Soviet Union, repopulated the village. Sulików is now part of Poland again.
