Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship (in Polish Województwo kujawsko-pomorskie) is an administrative region, or voivodeship, in central-northern Poland. Its capital cities are Bydgoszcz and Toruń.

Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship was created on January 1, 1999, out of the former Bydgoszcz, Toruń and Włocławek voivodeships, pursuant to the Local Government Reorganization Act of 1998. The voivodeship's name recalls the two historic regions of Pomerania and Kujawy.
