Poland does not currently have a king; it is a modern republic, and its head of state is a president rather than a monarch.

Quick Scoop: Who is the “king” of Poland?

Modern reality: No king, only a president

  • Poland is a parliamentary republic, so the top office is president , not king.
  • Since August 2025, Karol Nawrocki has served as the president of Poland, functioning as the country’s elected head of state.

Historically: The old Polish monarchy

  • Poland was ruled by kings from around the 10th century (starting with Mieszko I’s dynasty) until the late 18th century, when the partitions of Poland ended its monarchy.
  • The commonly cited “last king of Poland” is Stanisław II August Poniatowski, who reigned in the 18th century before the final partition.

Religious and symbolic “King of Poland”

  • Some Catholic and monarchist circles in Poland promote the idea of Jesus Christ as a spiritual “King of Poland,” which is a religious and symbolic concept, not a political office.
  • There have even been high‑profile ceremonies and debates around honoring Jesus as “King,” but these do not change Poland’s legal status as a secular republic with an elected president.

TL;DR: If you mean in real-world politics, there is no king of Poland today—Poland is a republic, and Karol Nawrocki is its president. If you mean historically or symbolically, you’re talking about the old Polish monarchs or the religious idea of Jesus as a symbolic king.
