The ambassador of Spain to Poland is the official representative of the Kingdom of Spain to the Republic of Poland.

Although there had been some sporadic contacts previously, Poland and Spain began to maintain regular relations during the reign of Charles I (V of the Holy Roman Empire). These relations broke down after the third and final partition of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, which meant its dissolution. Diplomatic ties were once more established with the Second Polish Republic until 1939, when Nazi Germany invaded the country. Finally, current diplomatic relations exists since 1977, when Spain transitioned to democracy and re-established ties with numerous countries, including communist countries like the Polish People's Republic.^[1]
