The Warmiak are a Polish ethnic group from Warmia who are mostly Roman Catholics.

Between the 14th and 17th centuries, settlers from northern Mazovia moved to former teritories of Old Prussians following their conquest by the Teutonic Order.

The bishopry of Warmia became part of Poland in 1466. Most Warmiaks remained Catholics, while Mazurs became Protestants. They populated the areas around Olsztyn.
