Sztum ([ʂtum]) (formerly German: Stuhm) is a town in northern Poland in the Powiśle region, located in the Pomeranian Voivodeship.

In October–December 1831, some Polish infantry units and intendant troops of the November Uprising stopped in the town on the way to their final internment places.

[8] According to the Treaty of Versailles, after World War I the inhabitants of the town and its district were asked whether they want to remain in Germany or join the new Second Polish Republic in the East Prussian plebiscite of 1920.

The Germans arrested 30 local Polish activists in August 1939, before the invasion of Poland which started World War II.

[11] After World War II, Sztum again became part of Poland, under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union at the Potsdam Conference.

On 14 July 2012 the town and surrounding areas, including Barlewice, were hit by a Low-End F3/T6 tornado, resulting in one injury.
