The Duchy of Warmia (Template:Lang-pl) was an administrative part of Malbork Voivodeship, one of the three voivodeships of Royal Prussia in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
After the Union of Lublin in 1569, the Bishopric of Warmia was directly included as part of the Polish crown within the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. At the same time the territory continued to enjoy substantial autonomy, with many legal differences from neighbouring lands. For example, the bishops were by law members of the Polish Senat. The land elected MPs to the Sejmik of Royal Prussia as well as MPs to the Sejm of Poland.
