- The Polish minority in the Czech Republic is a Polish national minority living mainly in the Zaolzie region of western Cieszyn Silesia. The Polish community is the only national (or ethnic) minority in the Czech Republic that is linked to a specific geographical area. Zaolzie is located in the north-eastern part of the country. It comprises Karviná District and the eastern part of Frýdek-Místek District. Many Poles living in other regions of the Czech Republic have roots in Zaolzie as well. Poles formed the largest ethnic group in Cieszyn Silesia in the 19th century, but at the beginning of the 20th century the Czech population grew. The Czechs and Poles collaborated on resisting Germanization movements, but this collaboration ceased after World War I. In 1920 the region of Zaolzie was incorporated into Czechoslovakia after an armed conflict between Poland and Czechoslovakia. Since then the Polish population demographically decreased. In 1938 it was annexed by Poland in the context of the Munich Agreement and in 1939 by Nazi Germany. The region was then given back to Czechoslovakia after World War II. Polish organizations were re-created, but were banned by the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. After the Velvet Revolution Polish organizations were re-created again and Zaolzie had adopted bilingual signs.
- Polska mniejszość narodowa/narodowościowa w Republice Czeskiej jest w większości skoncentrowana na Zaolziu. Według spisu powszechnego z 2001 roku, mniejszość polska liczy w tym kraju 51 968 osób. Najważniejszymi polskimi organizacjami w tym rejonie są Kongres Polaków w Republice Czeskiej oraz Polski Związek Kulturalno-Oświatowy (PZKO), a największą gazetą, Głos Ludu. Oprócz autochtonicznych Polaków z Zaolzia, w kraju żyją również Polacy z Polski przybywszy za pracą. Od wielu lat podjęło pracę wielu Polaków w Czechach - duże skupisko w Ostrawie (np. pobliskie kopalnie), w zakładach Škody w Mladej Boleslavi, a także wielu robotników budowlanych w Pradze. W Pradze istnieje od 1990 r. polskie duszpasterstwo przy dominikańskim kościele sv. Jiljí (św. Idziego - ul. Husova 8, na Starym Mieście) - obecnie msze niedzielne w samo południe sprawuje o. Krzysztof Parol OP. Druga polska msza w Pradze przed południem jest we franciszkańskim kościele św. Jakuba (franciszkanie-minoryci). Większość Polaków na Zaolziu jest wyznania katolickiego, luteranie są drugą najliczniejszą grupą religijną wśród Polaków.
