Zamagurie region with Dunajec river in Pieniny Środkowe range (Slovak: Centrálne Pieniny) to the north, and Magura Spišská to the south, with Spišská Stará Ves (center) on the border between Poland and Slovakia

Zamagurie (in Slovak, pronounced [ˈzamaɡurɪe]; Polish: Zamagurze) is a region in the Goral Lands area in the north of the Spiš region, between the Spišská Magura in the south, the Dunajec river in the north and the Białka (Slovak: Biela voda) river in the west. It is divided between the Prešov Region of Slovakia and the Lesser Poland Voivodeship of Poland and is further divided between the Slovak districts of Stará Ľubovňa and Kežmarok and Polish gminas of Bukowina Tatrzańska, Nowy Targ and Łapsze Niżne. The centre of the region is the Slovak town Spišská Stará Ves, which is just near the border. The region also used to be one of the official tourist regions of Slovakia until 2004.

In 2006, a new border bridge for pedestrians was open between Červený Kláštor and Sromowce.
