Bank Polski SA, full name Bank Polski Spółka Akcyjna (lit. 'Bank of Poland Joint-Stock Company'), was the central bank of the Second Polish Republic.

On 15 April 1924, Bank Polski SA succeeded the Polska Krajowa Kasa Pożyczkowa (lit. 'Polish National Loan Bank', German: Polnische Landes-Darlehnskasse) that had been created in late 1916 for the puppet Kingdom of Poland and kept serving as Poland's bank of issue in 1918-1924. It operated until the invasion of Poland in 1939, after which it relocated to London together with the Polish Government in Exile. In liberated Poland, it was replaced in 1945 by the National Bank of Poland, and was eventually liquidated in 1952. It is sometimes referred to as the "Second Bank of Poland" to distinguish it from its 19th-century namesake.
