Tolkmicko (pronounced , ) is a town in northern Poland, on the Vistula Lagoon, about northeast of Elbląg. It is located in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in Elbląg County. Its population is 2,766 (2004).

==History== ===Middle Ages=== The site was first settled by Old Prussian tribes. The town rights followed the incorporation of the territory into the State of the Teutonic Order in 1296 and was based on the Kulm law by order of Ludwig von Schippe, then commander of the Teutonic Knights. On 21 March 1351 the Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights Heinrich Dusemer renewed the municipal law and together with the village of Neuendorf (now Nowinka) Tolkmicko obtained fishing legislation. In the 14th century the first church was built, and town walls were erected. Also a castle was built at the Castle Hill and the St. George Hospital was founded. In 1390 Peter Turnow, the Theologian later burned at the stake as a heretic in 1426, was born here.
