The Duchy of Poznań (Polish: Księstwo poznańskie; Latin: Ducatus Posnaniensis) was a feudal district duchy in Greater Poland, with its territorial and administrative core in the Poznań Land — the region surrounding the city of Poznań. Its capital was Poznań. The duchy was established in 1177, following the partition of the Duchy of Greater Poland after a rebellion against Mieszko III. Duke Odon of the Piast dynasty became its first ruler.[1]

Initially, Poznań remained a fiefdom within the broader Duchy of Poland — a term commonly applied to the fragmented realm, which some sources continue to refer to as the Kingdom of Poland — until 1227, when Poznań gained independence as a duchy.[2] It existed in this form until 1279, when it was united with the duchies of Gniezno and Kalisz under the rule of Przemysł II, forming a reconstituted Duchy of Greater Poland.[3]
