Nowogard () (; ) is a town in northwestern Poland, in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. it had a population of 16,733.

==Name== Nowogard is a combination of two Slavic terms: novi (new) and gard, which is Pomeranian for town, city, or fortified settlement. In this capacity, the term gard (or gôrd) is still being used in the only surviving variation of the Pomeranian language, Kashubian.
