Nowogródek Pomorski [nɔvɔˈɡrudɛk pɔˈmɔrski] is a village in Myślibórz County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland. It is the seat of the gmina (administrative district) called Gmina Nowogródek Pomorski.[1] It lies approximately 12 kilometres (7 mi) east of Myślibórz and 64 km (40 mi) south-east of the regional capital Szczecin.

Before 1945 the village was part of Germany and known as Neuenburg. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration by the Potsdam Agreement under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union. Most Germans fled or were expelled and were replaced with Poles expelled from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union.

The village has a population of 450.
