The Czech Republic-Poland border (Czech: Česko-polská státní hranice) is the international border between the Czech Republic (Czechia) and the Republic of Poland. The present-day Czech Republic-Poland border was technically established in 1993 following the peaceful dissolution of Czechoslovakia, though the location of the border has been largely unchanged since 1918. It is approximately 796 km (495 mi) in length and runs southeast through the Central Sudetes mountains from the tripoint with Germany to the tripoint with Slovakia.
