Smołdzino [smɔu̯ˈd͡ʑinɔ] (Kashubian: Smôłdzëno, German Schmolsin) is a village in Słupsk County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Smołdzino.[1] It lies approximately 25 kilometres (16 mi) north-east of Słupsk and 98 km (61 mi) west of the regional capital Gdańsk.

Before 1945 the area of Farther Pomerania, where the village is located, was apart of Germany.[2][3] On March 8, 1945, the region was conquested by the Red Army, and after the end of World War II the local populace was expelled to West Germany and the town and district became part of Poland as Powiat słupski. For the history of the region, see History of Pomerania.

Michael Brüggemann lived in the town.[citation needed]

The village has a population of 984.
