Pasłęk is a historic town in northern Poland, within Elbląg County in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. In 2017, the town had 12,298 registered inhabitants.
The town emerged at the location of a medieval stronghold in the 13th century, and notably was one of the first places of Dutch immigration in present-day Poland. Pasłęk contains preserved medieval Gothic architecture, including a town hall and defensive walls, a Gothic-Renaissance castle, and churches in Gothic, Renaissance and Gothic Revival styles. It is located near the S7 highway, connecting the Polish capital of Warsaw with the country's chief port city of Gdańsk.
