Wielbark [ˈvjɛlbark] (German: 
Willenberg ) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Malbork, within Malbork County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland. It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) south-west of Malbork (on the road towards Sztum), and is 48 km (30 mi) south-east of the regional capital Gdańsk. The village has a population of 103.
Between the end of the 13th century and the 15th, the village lay in the territory of the Teutonic Knights. From 1466 until the First Partition of Poland, it was part of the Kingdom of Poland. After the partition, the region was part of Kingdom of Prussia and later the German Empire and Nazi Germany. In 1945 it became part of Poland again.
In 1873, a cemetery of the ancient Wielbark culture was discovered not far from the village Brąswałd near Willenberg.
