Lesser Poland Voivodeship (also known as Małopolska Province, or by its Polish name województwo małopolskie [vɔjɛˈvut​͡stfɔ mawɔˈpɔlskʲɛ] or simply Małopolskie) is a voivodeship, or province, in southern Poland. It has an area of 15,108 square kilometres (5,833 sq mi), and a population of 3,267,731 (2006).
