The Polish Socialist Party (Polska Partia Socjalistyczna, PPS) was one of the most important Polish left-wing political parties from its inception in 1892 until 1948, when it split, part of it merging with the communist Polish Workers' Party (PPR) to form the Polish United Workers' Party (PZPR), the ruling party in the People's Republic of Poland, and the other remaining on emigration.
A new party of the same name, which intends to carry on the tradition of the original PPS, was established by left-wing oppositionals such as Jan Jozef Lipski in 1987. However, the new PPS remains a marginal group within the political landscape of the Third Republic.
Józef Piłsudski, founder of the resurrected Polish state, was a member and later leader of the PPS.
