The Polish Orthodox church is one of the indipendent Orthodox churches. The church was established in 1924 to accomodate the othodox christians in districts of Ukraina and Byelorussia aquired by Poland after WW1. This was in the beginning protested by the pathriarch of Russia. After WW2 the vast part of these territories were returned to the Soviet Union. Only a small number of church members remained in Polish land. In 1948 the church was granted a new charter independence by the russian pathriarch.

The church is lead by the metropolitan of Warzaw. It is divided into five dioceses, Warsaw, Bialystok, Lódz, Wroclaw, and Gdansk.
