Ełdyty Wielkie [ɛu̯ˈdɨtɨ ˈvjɛlkʲɛ] (German: Elditten) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Lubomino, within Lidzbark County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1] It lies approximately 31 kilometres (19 mi) south-west of Lidzbark Warmiński and 33 km (21 mi) north-west of the regional capital Olsztyn on Route 593.

Before 1772 the area was part of Kingdom of Poland, 1772-1945 Prussia and Germany (East Prussia). 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.

The village has a population of 160.
