Głotowo [ɡwɔˈtɔvɔ] is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Dobre Miasto, within Olsztyn County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 6 km (4 mi) south-west of Dobre Miasto and 21 km (13 mi) north-west of the regional capital Olsztyn.

When the area was Christianised through the Northern Crusades, Głotowo developed into an important Christian pilgrimage site.[2]
