Borsuk is an amphibious infantry fighting vehicle produced by Huta Stalowa Wola, a part of Polish Armaments Group (PGZ). It is designed to replace the BWP-1 IFV that has been in service with the Polish Armed Forces since 1973 but is now obsolete.

Although often referred to as BWP Borsuk, BWP is not an official part of the name but rather an abbreviation of Bojowy Wóz Piechoty, Polish for "infantry fighting vehicle".
