Principality of Gützkow was an independent principality in Western Pomerania that existed in the Middle Ages until c. 1128. It was inhabited by the Lutici tribe and was centred around its capital, Gützkow. Around 1128, it was conquered by the Duchy of Pomerania and reorganised into Castellany of Gützkow. The sources written by Otto mention princeps Mitzlaw of Gützkow to be the ruler of the state around 1128.
