Kashubia or Cassubia (Kashubian: Kaszëbë or Kaszëbskô; Polish: Kaszuby [kaˈʂubɨ] ; German: Kaschubei or Kaschubien) is an ethnocultural region in the historic Eastern Pomerania (Pomerelia) region of northern Poland.

The unofficial self-description of "capital city of Kashubia" has long been contested by Kartuzy and Kościerzyna.[citation needed]
