Krasiczyn () is a village in Przemyśl County, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, in south-eastern Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Krasiczyn.

History
As a result of the first of Partitions of Poland (Treaty of St-Petersburg dated 5 July 1772), the Galicia area was attributed to the Habsburg Monarchy. When a postoffice was opened in 1869, the town was in the Przemyśl Bezirkshauptmannschaft.
