The Elbląg Voivodeship, also known as the Lower Prussian Voivodeship, was a voivodeship of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland, with capital in the city of Elbląg, that existed during the Thirteen Years' War. It was established by king Casimir IV Jagiellon in April 1454, following the incorporation of the city and the surrounding area into Poland, from the territory of the State of the Teutonic Order. Following the signing of the Second Peace of Thorn, on 19 October 1466, the area of the voivodeship was officially ceded to Poland, after which, it was replaced by the Malbork Voivodeship.
