Farther Pomerania, Hinder Pomerania, Rear Pomerania or Eastern Pomerania (german: Hinterpommern, Ostpommern), is the part of Pomerania which comprised the eastern part of the Duchy and later Province of Pomerania.

Farther Pomerania emerged as a subdivision of the Duchy of Pomerania in the partition of 1532, then known as ''Pomerania-Stettin'' and already including the historical regions Princip ...
