Serbs in Poland are Polish citizens of ethnic Serb descent and/or Serbia-born persons living in Poland. According to data from 2021 census, there were 1,149 ethnic Serbs citizens in Poland.[2]

History

Serbs did not constitute a large community in Poland, however, their presence is attested in early modern times, when they lived in the then border town of Mohylów Podolski.[3] According to the 1897 census, the largest Serbian populations in the Russian Partition of Poland lived in Warsaw (72), Nasielsk (46) and Będzin County (20), with very few in other locations.[4][5]

According to the 1921 Polish census, main concentrations of Serbs included Lublin (29) and Warsaw (16).[6][7]
