Gniewino [ɡɲɛˈvinɔ] (Kashubian: Gniéwino; German: Gnewin)[1] is a village in Wejherowo County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[2] It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Gniewino.

A little to the east of Gniewino lies the Kashubian Eye Complex, a tourism and recreation complex centred on a 44-metre-tall (144 ft) viewing tower.

The Spain National Football Team was based here during the 2012 European Championships held in Poland and Ukraine.
