Pasewalk (IPA2|ˈpaːzəvalk) is a town in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in Germany. Located on the Uecker river, it is the capital of the Uecker-Randow district, and of the Uecker-Randow-Tal "Amt" of which it is not part.

Pasewalk became a town during the 12th century and was soon a member of the Hanseatic League. In 1359 it passed to the Duke of Pomerania. Frequently ravaged during the wars which devastated the district, it was plundered several times by the imperialists during the Thirty Years' War. In 1657 it was burned down by the Poles and in 1713 by the Russians. In the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 it was given to Sweden, but in 1676 it was conquered by Brandenburg. In 1720, in the "Peace of Stockholm", it was finally assigned to Brandenburg-Prussia.
