The Duchy of Pomerania-Rügenwalde,[a] also known as the Duchy of Rügenwalde, and the Duchy of Darłowo,[b] was a feudal duchy in Western Pomerania within the Holy Roman Empire. Its capital was Darłowo. It was ruled by the Griffin dynasty.[1] It existed in the early modern period, from 1569 to 1625.[1][2]

The state was formed in 1569, from the part of the territory of Pomerania-Stettin, with duke Barnim X, as its first ruler.[1] It existed until 1625, when, under the rule of duke Bogislaw XIV, it was incorporated into the unified Duchy of Pomerania.[2]
