A Polish passport (Polish: Polski paszport) is an international travel document issued to nationals of Poland, and may also serve as proof of Polish citizenship. Besides enabling the bearer to travel internationally and serving as indication of Polish citizenship, the passport facilitates the process of securing assistance from Polish consular officials abroad or other European Union member states in case a Polish consular is absent, if needed.

Every Polish citizen is also a citizen of the European Union. The passport, along with the national identity card allows for free rights of movement and residence in any of the states of the European Union, European Economic Area and Switzerland.

According to the 2024 edition of the Henley Passport Index, the Polish passport allows visa-free travel to 189 countries and, together with the United States, Canada, the Czech Republic and Hungary, is ranked 6th globally in terms of travel freedom.^[7]
