            Podział administracyjny Polski (stan na 1 stycznia 2010) Województwo – jednostka podziału administracyjnego najwyższego stopnia w Polsce, od 1990 r. jednostka zasadniczego podziału terytorialnego administracji rządowej, od 1999 r. także jednostka samorządu terytorialnego. Podział kraju na województwa ma swoje korzenie w okresie rozbicia dzielnicowego, stąd ich zróżnicowanie pod względem wielkości w czasach Rzeczypospolitej. Pierwsze województwa powstawały na przełomie XIV i XV w. Pierwotnie były to samodzielne zgromadzenia wojskowe na określonych terenach Polski, którymi zarządzali wyznaczani przez władcę wojewodowie – od: wodzić woje. Status województwa reguluje w Polsce ustawa o samorządzie województwa z dnia 5 czerwca 1998 r.
