__NOTOC__

Gołdap County ({{langx|pl|powiat gołdapski}}) is a unit of territorial administration and local government (powiat) in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, northern Poland, on the border with Russia. Its administrative seat and only town is Gołdap, which lies {{convert|133|km|mi|0}} north-east of the regional capital Olsztyn.

When powiats were re-introduced in the Polish local government reforms of 1999, the present Gołdap and Olecko Counties made up a single entity (called powiat olecko-gołdapski or Olecko-Gołdap County). This was divided into two in 2002.

The county covers an area of {{convert|771.93|km2|sqmi|1}}. As of 2019 its total population is 26,825, out of which the population of Gołdap is 13,716 and the rural population is 13,109.{{Cite web|last=GUS|title=Population.
