The powiat Bartoszycki is a powiat (district) in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship . It is located in the northern part of the province, where it is surrounded by the powiats Braniewo , Lidzbark , Olsztyn and Kętrzyn , while the state border with the Russian Kaliningrad Oblast runs in the north .

The establishment of the Polish-Russian border across the former East Prussia in 1945 divided the former districts of Bartenstein and Prussian Eylau . In Górowo Iławeckie (formerly Landsberg in East Prussia ), a Polish powiat was set up in 1945, which administered the southern part of the former district of Prussian Eylau . This was dissolved in 1960 and united with Bartoszyce to form a common powiat.
