The following is a list of medals, awards and decorations in use by the Polish Army. Note that some of them are civilian decorations, that may be worn by the military personnel. Note, that most of these decorations ceased to be awarded; some were awarded before the World War II only, and some in the People's Republic of Poland only. Therefore, their order of precedence is approximate.
