The Piekielnica (German: Höllenberger Bach) is a mountain stream in south-western Poland, in the Lower Silesian Voivodeship. It is a left tributary of the Włodzica and forms part of the Oder basin.

The official Polish hydronym Piekielnica appears in post-war standardization records. A 1949 official list connected the stream with the former German name Höllenberger Bach, while the 1951 register of flowing waters listed it under the standardized Polish name Piekielnica.
