First Lady of the Republic of Poland (Pierwsza Dama Rzeczpospolitej Polskiej) is an informal designation customarily applied to the wife of the President of the Republic of Poland (as so far all Polish presidents have been male). The first lady does not hold a constitutional position and there are no political duties associated with the role. However, the first lady sometimes accompanies her husband on formal occasions such as state visits.

The First Lady is currently Agata Kornhauser-Duda.
