The Polish American Association (PAA) (Polish: Zrzeszenie Amerykańsko Polskie) is a non-profit human services agency that serves the diverse needs of the Chicago immigrant community.

Originally located in Polish Downtown, the PAA was founded as the Polish Welfare Association in 1922 by a group of prominent Polish businessmen and professionals to provide Polish language social services in Chicago. Since then, PAA has helped generations of immigrant families adjust to life in the United States.

Today, the agency's bilingual and bicultural services remain critical to meet the growing needs of Chicago's Polish community. The Polish community constitutes the second largest ethnic group in the Chicago area.
