The 1973 Polish Rally, formally known as the 33rd Polish Rally, was the seventh round of the inaugural World Rally Championship season. Held in mid-July in southern Poland, , this event marked the only year in which Poland, or any member of the Warsaw Pact, was included in the WRC calendar until 2009, 36 years later. This edition is also notable for the fact that out of the 62 teams that started the rally, only three completed it, a record that still stands today.
