Jarnołtowo [jarnɔu̯ˈtɔvɔ] (German: Groß-Arnsdorf) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Małdyty, within Ostróda County, Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, in northern Poland.[1]

It was established around 1308 and first mentioned in 1317 as Arnoldisdorff. In 1329-1335 the church was built. Between 1750-1754 Immanuel Kant, a philosopher, worked here as a tutor.

Prior to 1945 the area was part of Germany (East Prussia). After World War II the region was placed under Polish administration by the Potsdam Agreement under territorial changes demanded by the Soviet Union. In 1945-46 the village was renamed to Arnoldowo then to Arniewo and then to Jarnołtowo.
