Cecenowo [t͡sɛt͡sɛˈnɔvɔ] (German Zezenow) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Główczyce, within Słupsk County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 12 kilometres (7 mi) east of Główczyce, 39 km (24 mi) north-east of Słupsk, and 77 km (48 mi) north-west of the regional capital Gdańsk.

The area had been part of the Holy Roman Empire (Duchy of Pomerania) since the 12th century, from 1648 to 1945 part of Prussia and Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles. For the history of the region, see History of Pomerania.

The village has a population of 426.
