Wierzchomino [vjɛʂxɔˈminɔ] (formerly German Varchmin) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Będzino, within Koszalin County, West Pomeranian Voivodeship, in north-western Poland.^[1] It lies approximately 5 kilometres (3 mi) south of Będzino, 15 km (9 mi) west of Koszalin, and 124 km (77 mi) north-east of the regional capital Szczecin.

Before 1945 the area of Farther Pomerania, where the village is located, was part of Germany. After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration by the Potsdam Agreement under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union. Most Germans fled or were expelled and replaced with Poles expelled from the Polish areas annexed by the Soviet Union.
