Majewo [maˈjɛvɔ] (German: Maibaum) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Milejewo, within Elbląg County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) east of Milejewo, 19 km (12 mi) north-east of Elbląg, and 77 km (48 mi) north-west of the regional capital Olsztyn.

Before 1772 the area was part of Kingdom of Poland, 1772-1945 Prussia and Germany (East Prussia). 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.


The village has a population of 280.
