A historical region in northern Poland roughly corresponding to the present Elbląg and Olsztyn Voivodeships, which was part of East Prussia before World War II. Formerly known as Ermland in German, it lies in the basin of the north-flowing Wina and Paszęka rivers, and borders the Masurian Lake Region to the east. It is one of Poland's economically underdeveloped regions, and the glacial topography makes the soil poor and unsuitable for farming. In the 8th century, Slavic peoples inhabited the area. In 1243, it came under the control of the Teutonic Knights, and many Germans immigrated to the area, but Ermland maintained its own bishopric.

ポーランド北部,現在のエルブロンク県とオルシュティン県にほぼ相当する歴史的地方名で,第2次大戦前は東プロイセンの一部であった。旧ドイツ名エルムラントErmland。北流するウィナ川とパスエンカ川の流域に位置し,東はマズーリ湖沼地方に隣接する。ポーランドの経済的後進地域の一つで,氷河性の地形のため土壌はやせており,農耕には不利である。8世紀にはスラブ系民族が居住していた。1243年にドイツ騎士修道会の支配下に入り多くのドイツ人がこの地に移住したが,エルムラントは独自の司教区を維持した。
