The subdivisions of the Polish People's Republic changed several times from the Republic's inception in 1946 to the latest revision in 1999.

The 1975 division survived the fall of communism in 1990. The current administrative subdivisions were finalised in 1999. While they closely resemble the 1945–75 scheme, they have different names since the Communists tended to simply name the voivodeships after their capitals, whereas the current ones use more historical names.
