Kulm law or Chelmno law (German: Kulmer Recht, Kulmer Handfeste; Lithuanian: Jus Culmense vetus; Polish: Prawo chełmińskie) was a legal constitution for a municipal form of government used in several Central European cities during the Middle Ages.

It was initiated in 1233 in the Monastic State of the Teutonic Knights by Hochmeister Hermann von Salza when the town of Kulm (Chełmno) received German town law, in particular a modification of Magdeburg rights. This type of law was adopted by many Prussian, Eastern Pomeranian, and Masovian cities.
