Bay of Mecklenburg or Mecklenburg Bight (German: Mecklenburgische Bucht, Danish: Mecklenburg Bugt, and Polish: Zatoka Meklemburska) is a basin in the southwestern Baltic Sea, between the shores of Germany to the south and the Danish islands of Lolland, Falster, and Møn to the north.

The Bay of Mecklenburg connects to the Bay of Kiel in the northwest.

The Bay of Wismar and the Bay of Lübeck are parts of the Bay of Mecklenburg.

Notable ports in the Bay of Mecklenburg are Rostock and Wismar.

[edit] In literature

Both arms of the bight and the three ports, Lübeck, Rostock, and Wismar— all play as a scene location in the best selling alternate history Ring of Fire series in the novel 1633. The Defense of Luebeck and Battle of Wismar detail the fictional accounts in the neohistorical timeline. The greater bay, is the locale of a third Baltic naval battle in relief of the fictional Seige of Lubeck in the sequel 1634: The_Baltic_War.
