This is a list of flying aces from Poland who fought in World War I

World War I

World War I , which was predominantly called the World War or the Great War from its occurrence until 1939, and the First World War or World War I thereafter, was a major war centred in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918...

. Poland was not an independent state during the war, and Polish pilots served in several different air forces. Some of them also fought in the struggles that echoed through Europe in the aftermath of the Great War.

The table includes World War I aces who were born in or were citizens of conquered Poland. Due to dual citizenship and/or other variations in allegiance, they may also appear in other lists of aces.
