Masuria (Polish: Mazury [maˈzurɨ] ^ⓘ; Masurian: Mazurÿ; German: Masuren [maˈzuːʁən] ^ⓘ) is an ethnographic and geographic region in northern and northeastern Poland. Masuria occupies much of the Masurian Lake District, known for its 2,000 lakes and a finalist of the New7Wonders of Nature initiative. Administratively, it is part of the Warmian–Masurian Voivodeship (administrative area/province). Its biggest city, often regarded as its capital, is Ełk. The region covers a territory of some 10,000 km2, which is inhabited by approximately 500,000 people.

Masuria is bordered by Warmia, Powiśle and Chełmno Land in the west, Mazovia in the south, Podlachia and Suwałki Region in the east, and Lithuania Minor in the north.
