Kluki [ˈkluki] (Slovincian: Kláhi, Kláčicä; Kashubian: Klëczi; German: Klucken) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Smołdzino, within Słupsk County, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 9 kilometres (6 mi) east of Smołdzino, 32 km (20 mi) north-east of Słupsk, and 91 km (57 mi) north-west of the regional capital Gdańsk.

Kluki was settled by the Slovincians and features an open-air museum, Muzeum Wsi Słowińskiej (Museum of the Slovincian Village), a division of the Muzeum Pomorza Środkowego w Słupsku (Central Pomerania Museum in Słupsk).[2] The area had been part of the Holy Roman Empire (Duchy of Pomerania) since the 12th century, from 1648 to 1945 part of Prussia and Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration and ethnically cleansed according to the post-war Potsdam Agreement. The native German populace was expelled and replaced with Poles. For the history of the region, see History of Pomerania.

The village has a population of 90.
