The Polish Academy of Sciences (Polish: Polska Akademia Nauk, abbreviated PAN) is a Polish state scholarly institution, headquartered in Warsaw, that was established in 1952 by the merger of earlier scholarly societies, including the Polish Academy of Learning (Polska Akademia Umiejętności, abbreviated PAU), with its seat in Kraków, and the Warsaw Society of Friends of Learning, which had been founded in the late 18th century.

The Polish Academy of Sciences functions as a learned society acting through an elected corporation of leading scholars and research institutions. The Academy has also, operating through its committees, become a major scientific advisory body.

In 1989, the Polish Academy of Learning, in Kraków, resumed its independent existence, separate from the Polish Academy of Sciences, in Warsaw.

Also Jerzy Kosiński was a graduate and a scientist of the Academy.
