The Poznań Circuit (Polish: Tor Poznań) is a 4.083 km (2.537 mi) motorsport race track located in the Ławica area of Poznań, Poland.[1][2] The circuit also has a small 1.509 km (0.938 mi) kart circuit layout.[1] The circuit was resurfaced and renovated in 2006; as an FIA Grade 3 circuit, it is the only racing circuit homologated by the FIA in Poland.[2]
In October 2023, a decision to close the circuit due to violation of noise regulations was issued following an inspection by the Polish Chief Inspectorate of Environmental Protection. In April 2026, it was formally announced that the circuit would be closed after an appeal by the circuit's owners was rejected.[3] The next day, the Inspectorate temporarily suspended the decision.

Marc Gené held the unofficial lap record with a lap of 1:14.700 with Ferrari 248 F1 in a demonstration event in 2007.[4] As of July 2026, the fastest official race lap records at the Tor Poznań are listed as:
