Polotsk Voivodeship

Polatsk Voivodeship (Belarusian: Полацкае ваяводства, Polish: Województwo połockie, Latin: Palatinatus Polocensis) was a unit of administrative division and local government in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (from 1569 Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth) since 15th century till the Second partition of Rzeczpospolita in 1793.

The voivodeship history can be traced to the Principality of Polotsk, conquered by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania around late 14th / early 15th centuries. From 1504 the former Principality was recognized as a voivodeship.
