Rębiechowo is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Żukowo, within Kartuzy County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 8km (05miles) north-east of Żukowo, 170NaN0 north-east of Kartuzy, and 140NaN0 west of central Gdańsk.

In 1973, the eastern part of the village was incorporated into the city of Gdańsk, where it now forms a district known as Rębiechowo. This is the location of Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport, which was formerly called Gdańsk-Rębiechowo (and continues to be referred to informally by that name).
