The Conservative-Monarchist Club (Polish : Klub Zachowawczo-Monarchistyczny, abbr. KZ-M) is a Polish organization of traditionalist, counter-revolutionary, and Catholic character. It was founded on 7 March 1988 as a society. The doctrine of the club can be characterised as integralist conservatism. It is a metapolitical organisation, keeping apart from daily politics, instead, it aims at advancing ideas of free market and Catholic traditionalism. It considers itself a successor to the Conservative-Monarchist Club founded in Kraków, 1926, which in turn succeeded the Conservative Party founded in 1922. The club publishes a quarterly entitled Pro Fide Rege et Lege and maintains the internet portal konserwatyzm.pl.
Conservatism is a cultural, social, and political philosophy and ideology that seeks to promote and preserve traditional institutions, customs, and values. The central tenets of conservatism may vary in relation to the culture and civilisation in which it appears. In Western culture, depending on the particular nation, conservatives seek to promote and preserve a range of institutions, such as the nuclear family, organised religion, the military, the nation-state, property rights, rule of law, aristocracy, and monarchy. Conservatives tend to favour institutions and practices that enhance social order and historical continuity.

The Tory ethos has been summed up with the phrase "God, King, and Country". Tories are monarchists, were historically of a high church Anglican religious heritage, and were opposed to the liberalism of the Whig party.
