The Duchy of Pomerania-Stettin,^{[lower-alpha 1]} also known as the Duchy of Stettin, and the Duchy of Szczecin,^{[lower-alpha 2]} was a feudal duchy in Farther Pomerania within the Holy Roman Empire. Its capital was Szczecin. It was ruled by the Griffin dynasty.^[1] It existed in the eras of the High and Late Middle Ages, and the early modern period, between 1160 and 1264, between 1295 and 1523, and between 1532 and 1625.

The state was formed in 1160, in the partition of the Duchy of Pomerania, with duke Bogusław I, as its first ruler.^[1] In 1264, Barnim I, Duke of Stettin, had unified duchies of Pomerania-Stettin and Pomerania-Demmin, re-establishing the Duchy of Pomerania.^[2] The state was again formed in 1295, in the partition of the Duchy of Pomerania, with Otto I as its ruler.^[3][4] In 1478, the state was incorporated into the re-unified Duchy of Pomerania, under the rule of duke Bogislaw X.^[5] Pomerania-Stettin was again established in 21 October 1532, with the partition of Duchy of Pomerania, with Barnim XI as its ruler.^[6][7] The state existed until 1625, when, under the rule of Bogislaw XIV, it was incorporated into the unified Duchy of Pomerania.^[8]
