Województwo brzesko-litewskie Poland Ukraine Brest Litovsk Voivodeship (; ) was a unit of administrative territorial division and a seat of local government (voivode) in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth) from 1566 until the May Constitution in 1791, and from 1791 to 1795 (partitions of Poland) as a voivodeship in Poland. It was constituted from Brest-Litovsk and Pinsk counties.

History

It was created from the southern part of Trakai Voivodeship in 1566. In 1791 Kobryn and Pinsk-Zarzeche (whose center was Poltnica, now Plotnitsa) counties were created. Pinsk-Zarzeche country was renamed Zapynsky and its seat was moved to Stolin. After the Second Partition of Poland, in 1793, Pinsk and Zapynsky countries became part of the Russian Empire's Minsk Governorate. The remainder of it was dissolved in 1795 and became part of Slonim Governorate.
