The Pomeranian Evangelical Church (German: Pommersche Evangelische Kirche) was a Protestant church body in the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, serving the citizens living in Hither Pomerania. It combined Lutheran and Reformed traditions (Prussian Union). The seat of the bishop was the city of Greifswald.
In May 2012 the Pomeranian Evangelical Church merged together with North Elbian Evangelical Lutheran Church and Evangelical Lutheran Church of Mecklenburg into Evangelical Lutheran Church in Northern Germany.
