Miejska Górka [ˈmʲɛi̯ska ˈɡurka] is a town in Rawicz County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland. With 3,190 inhabitants (2010), it lies approximately 9 kilometres (6 mi) north-east of Rawicz and 83 km (52 mi) south of the regional capital Poznań.

Miejska Górka was granted town rights before 1406. It was a private town, administratively located in the Kościan County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland.

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, Miejska Górka was occupied by Germany until 1945. The occupiers operated a subcamp of the Nazi prison in Rawicz, dedicated to prisoners suffering from tuberculosis. On 22 May 1941, the Germans perpetrated a public execution of 25 Poles in the town (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation). The command of the Miejscowa Organizacja Podziemna Polish resistance organization was operating in Miejska Górka, and eventually became part of the larger Home Army in 1944.
