Order Krzyża Grunwaldu 1943-1960, Krzyż Grunwaldu 1960-1992 (English: 1943-1960 Cross of Grunwald, 1960-1992 Order of the Cross of Grunwald) was a military decoration created in November 1943 by the High Command of Gwardia Ludowa, a World War II Polish resistance movement in Poland organised by the Polish Workers Party. On 20 February 1944 it was confirmed by the State National Council and on 22 December by the Polish Committee of National Liberation and further confirmed on 17 February 1960 by the government of the People's Republic of Poland. It was disestablished by the Polish president via parliament in 1992. It was a controversial decision, and there was a communist veteran organisation dedicated to reestabilishing this decoration.
