Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship (also "Kujawy-Pomerania Province" — Polish: województwo kujawsko-pomorskie) is a voivodship, or province, in mid-northern Poland. Its capitals are Bydgoszcz and Toruń.
Kujawy-Pomerania Province was created January 1, 1999, out of the former Bydgoszcz, Toruń and Włocławek Voivodeships, pursuant to the 1998 Local Government Reorganization Act. The province's name recalls two historic districts, Kujawy and Pomorze (often rendered into English as "Pomerania").
