Domatowo [dɔmaˈtɔvɔ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Puck, within Puck County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, Kashubia in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 11 kilometres (7 mi) west of Puck and 47 km (29 mi) north-west of the regional capital Gdańsk. It is located within the historic region of Pomerania.

Domatowo was a private church village within the Polish Crown, administratively located in the Puck County in the Pomeranian Voivodeship, owned by the monastery in Oliwa.[2]

During the German occupation of Poland (World War II), the Germans murdered seven Poles in Domatowo in October 1939.[3] Polish farmers from Domatowo were imprisoned in nearby Puck, and on November 3, 1939, murdered in the Piasnica massacre.[4]
