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 districts Huckstorf and Wahrstorf belong to Pölchow.

The proximity to Rostock and the good traffic connection (Baltic Sea motorway A 20) let the municipality grow strongly in the last years. In addition to the numerous homes that have been built, a number of commercial enterprises have also settled in the town.
