Podgaje [pɔdˈɡajɛ] (German: Flederborn) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Okonek, within Złotów County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland.[1] It lies approximately 8 kilometres (5 mi) south of Okonek, 16 km (10 mi) north-west of Złotów, and 119 km (74 mi) north of the regional capital Poznań.

Before 1648 the area was part of Duchy of Pomerania, 1648-1945 Prussia and Germany. For the history of the region, see History of Pomerania.

The village was a scene of Massacre in Podgaje in January 1945, when Waffen SS soldiers murdered dozens of Polish Army prisoners-of-war.
