Frombork (Polish: [ˈfrɔmbɔrk] ^ⓘ; German: Frauenburg [ˈfʁaʊənbʊʁk] ^ⓘ) is a town in northern Poland, situated on the Vistula Lagoon in Braniewo County, within Warmian–Masurian Voivodeship. As of December 2021, it has a population of 2,260.

First mentioned in a 13th-century document, Frombork is one of the oldest and historically most important towns of the historical region of Warmia. In the early 16th century it was the residence of the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, who used it as a site for several of his observations.

The town and its 14th-century cathedral were badly damaged in World War II. After the war the cathedral complex was meticulously reconstructed and is again a popular tourist destination, listed as a Historic Monument of Poland. It contains the grave of Copernicus and is the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Warmia.

Frombork is known as "The Jewel of Warmia" because of its many historical sites. The Museum of Copernicus in Frombork holds exhibitions related to the astronomer, as well as to astronomy in general, and includes a planetarium. One of the biggest attractions is also the annual International Festival of Organ Music, held every summer.
