A.B. Dobrowolski Polar Station (Polish: Stacja im. A.B. Dobrowolskiego) is an occasionally active Polish polar research station in Antarctica. It is located at the edge of the Algae Lake, Bunger Hills region in the Wilkes Land and was originally constructed by the Soviet Union. It is one of the two Polish stations in Antarctica, the other being the Henryk Arctowski Polish Antarctic Station.
The station is named after Polish geophysicist, meteorologist and explorer Antoni Bolesław Dobrowolski.
In January 2022, it was reported that Polish scientists have arrived to staff the station for the first time since 43 years.
