The Polish Paralympic Committee (Polish: Polski Komitet Paralimpijski, official acronym PKPar) is the National Paralympic Committee representing Poland.

The committee has existed since 1998. The initiators of the establishment of PKPar were the Polish Disabled Sports Association (Polish: Polski Związek Sportu Niepełnosprawnych, "Start"), the Polish Social and Sports Association (Polish: Polskie Towarzystwo Społeczno-Sportowe, "Sprawni Razem") and the Disabled Health Protection Foundation (Polish: Fundacja Ochrony Zdrowia Inwalidów). PKPar is a member of the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) and the European Paralympic Committee (EPC). The basic goals of the committee are promoting the idea of Paralympism, co-organizing the Paralympic movement in Poland and securing the formal participation of Polish athletes in the Paralympic Games.
