The Marshal of the Senate of the Republic of Poland () is the presiding officer of the Senate, the upper chamber of the Polish parliament. The marshal is third in the Polish order of precedence, behind the President of Poland and the Marshal of the Sejm, the lower chamber of parliament. They are concurrently second in line to become acting President of Poland (which occurs in the event that the president becomes incapacitated due to natural or legal causes), behind the Marshal of the Sejm (between 1935 and 1939, Marshal of the Senate was first in line). Because of both the order of precedence and the order of succession, the Marshal of the Senate is commonly referred to as the "third person in the state". The person who functions as their second-in-command is the Deputy Marshal of the Senate of the Republic of Poland.
