Pölchow is a municipality in the Rostock district, in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany.

The commune is administered by the Amt Warnow-West, which is located in the municipality of Kritzmow.

The proximity to Rostock and the good traffic connection (Baltic Sea motorway A 20) let the municipality grow strongly in the last years.
