The Treaty of Stuhmsdorf (Swedish: Stilleståndet i Stuhmsdorf), or Sztumska Wieś (Polish: Rozejm w Sztumskiej Wsi), was a treaty signed on 12 September 1635 between the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Swedish Empire in the village of Stuhmsdorf, Poland (now Sztumska Wieś, Poland), just south of Stuhm (Sztum).

The treaty introduced a truce for 26+1⁄2 years. Sweden, weakened by its involvement in the Thirty Years' War, agreed to the terms, which were mostly favourable to the Commonwealth in terms of territorial concessions. The Commonwealth regained many of the territories that he had lost in the past decades of the Polish–Swedish War, but the treaty was also beneficial to Sweden and its allies (France, England and the Dutch Republic), which wanted Sweden to be able to concentrate on the Thirty Years' War in the Holy Roman Empire without the need to worry about possible conflict with the Commonwealth.

The truce lasted until 1655, when Sweden invaded the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth during the Second Northern War.^[1]
