Radio Poland (until January 2007 as Radio Polonia, later "Polish Radio External Service" (, in Polish legislation also named as Polskie Radio Program V)) is the official international broadcasting station of the Republic of Poland and is a part of Poland’s public radio network, Polish Radio.

Its aim is to broadcast programs on developments in Poland, Polish foreign policy, the economy, business and foreign investments. Polish Radio External Service provides objective and impartial information about Poland and its stance on international affairs. It shows Polish society, its daily life as well as scientific and cultural achievements.

Polish Radio External Service ended their English language shortwave broadcasts in 2012 and announced that they would be ceasing all shortwave transmissions on 27 October 2013, from which point they will only be broadcasting over the internet and through partnerships such as the World Radio Network.
