The Polish Family Association (Polish: Stowarzyszenie Rodzina Polska, RP) was a Catholic political association in Poland that ran in the 1998 Polish local elections. It was led by Piotr Jaroszyński and obtained 151 councillor seats in the election, winning 1 mandate in the voivodeship sejmiks, 14 mandates in powiat councils, and 136 mandates in gmina councils. It was heavily associated with traditional Catholic Radio Maryja and its founder Tadeusz Rydzyk. The association has played an important role in municipal elections, bringing in many of its representatives to municipal and town councils; later it led the initiative to create a new right-wing party in Poland, the Polish Agreement.
