List of honorary citizens of Gdańsk

The title of an Honorary Citizen of Gdańsk (Polish: Honorowy Obywatel Gdańska) is conferred by the city authorities to persons who made significant contributions to the city of Gdańsk, irrespective of their place of birth or nationality.

The legal basis for conferring this honour was the Prussian Act on Local Government from 1831, which introduced the term of an honorary citizen.

In the period of the Free City of Gdańsk (1918-1945) and the Communist State (1945-1989) the title of an Honorary Citizen of Gdańsk was awarded to a number of controversial figures such as Adolf Hitler, Hermann Göring and Bolesław Bierut.

The title is purely symbolic and the recipients do not receive any financial awards.
