Polish medalists of the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships

This is a list of Polish medalists of the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships. To be included in this list, they must have been representing Poland and have won at least one medal at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships.

The first Polish medalist at the World Championships was Stanisław Marusarz, who in 1938 became the vice-champion in the ski jumping event on the large hill. In total, 18 Polish athletes have stood on the podium of the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, including two under the "double championship" rule, where from 1924 to 1980, every Olympic medalist automatically became a World Championship medalist. Under this rule, the first Polish gold medalist at the World Championships was Wojciech Fortuna, who won Olympic gold in ski jumping in 1972. Additionally, world championship titles were won by Józef Łuszczek and Justyna Kowalczyk in cross-country skiing, and Adam Małysz, Kamil Stoch, Piotr Żyła, Dawid Kubacki, and Maciej Kot in ski jumping.

The most titled Polish athlete is Adam Małysz, who won the world championship title four times. Justyna Kowalczyk has won the most medals – eight. In 2011, Polish athletes won the most medals in a single championship edition – four. In 2003 and 2009, they achieved the highest number of gold medals – two each. The total number of medals won by Polish athletes is 34, including 21 in ski jumping, 11 in cross-country skiing, and 2 in Nordic combined.
