The Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra (Polish: Orkiestra Filharmonii Narodowej w Warszawie) is a Polish orchestra based in Warsaw. Founded in 1901, it is one of Poland's oldest musical institutions. The orchestra was conceived on initiative of an assembly of Polish aristocrats and financiers, as well as musicians.

The Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra gave its first concert on 5th November 1901 in the newly erected Philharmonic Hall. This inaugural concert was conducted by Emil Mlynarski, the Philharmonic’s first Music Director and Principal Conductor and featured the world-famous pianist, composer and future statesman Ignacy Jan Paderewski. The enormous success enjoyed by performances of 20th century music led to the establishment at the National Philharmonic of the Warsaw Autumn International Festival of Contemporary Music, which in time became one of the most important festivals of its kind in the world. In 1958 Witold Rowicki was once again appointed Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the Philharmonic, a post he held until 1977. The Orchestra’s principal guest conductors at the time were Stanislaw Wislocki and Andrzej Markowski.
