The Castellany of Gützkow[lower-alpha 1] was a castellany in the Duchy of Pomerania in the High Middle Ages. It was established before 1128 from the Principality of Gützkow, following its conquest by Pomerania. In 1229, following the death of its castellan, Wartislaw I, it was reorganized into the County of Gützkow.

Until the 12th century, the area centred around the burgh of Gützkow was controlled by the Principality of Gützkow, inhabited by the Lutici tribe. By the time when Otto of Bamberg had converted the area into Christianity, the state was already conquered by the Duchy of Pomerania and reorganized into Castellany of Gützkow. Its castellan was Wartislaw I, duke of Pomerania. Following his death in 1129, the castellany was reorganised into the County of Gützkow, with Wartislaw's daughter, Dobroslawa of Pomerania, being titled the Countess of Gützkow.
