{{notability|date=February 2017}}The following is a list of place names in Poland of German origin, sorted by Polish voivodeship. Many current and historical regions of Poland has throughout history been substantially, or primarily, under a strong German influence or population. The Kingdom of Prussia, and the subsequent German Empire, was made out of several areas that today is part of the modern nation state of Poland. Several areas with a primarily Polish population belonging to Germany was lost after the First World War, and several areas of primarily German population was lost after the Second World War. Some of these areas had been under continuing, or intermittent, German control for several centuries, with some having traditionally been inhabited by German (or Germanic) peoples. In the wake of the Potsdam Conference, and the annexation, transfer and ethnic cleansing of the former eastern territories of Germany, the Commission for the Determination of Place Names was charged with determining names in the newly acquired territories, often either by means of polonizing or renaming. As a result of the areas' rich history, several place names in what is Poland today has a German origin.
