English: The voivodeships or province (Polish: województwo) has been a second-level administrative unit in Poland since the 14th century. Per January 1, 1999, 16 new provinces were created, replacing the former 49 provinces that had existed from July 1, 1975 (Former subdivisions of Poland)

A powiat (pronounced "povyat") is the Polish second-level unit of administration, equivalent to a county, district or prefecture (NUTS-4 or rather LAU-1) in other countries. A powiat is part of a larger unit called a voivodeship. In turn a powiat usually comprises several communes, each called a gmina (plural: gminy). (Sort communes in their powiat category.)

Category:Regions of Poland refers to historical regions, and overlap in many cases current divisions of the country.
