The House of Odrowąż (plural: Odrowążowie or Odrowąże) was an important family of knights in medieval Kingdom of Poland, strongly tied with the Catholic church in the 12th century.
Their family seats were in Upper Silesia and Lesser Poland, and after the 13th century invasion of the Teutonic Order in Silesia just in Lesser Poland. The progenitor of the family was Prandota Stary, who came to Poland in the 12th century from Moravia (or maybe Bohemia).
