The Friendship Estate (Polish: Osiedle Przyjaźń) is a neighbourhood in the Bemowo district of Warsaw, Poland, located within the City Information System area of Jelonki Północne. It is a low-rise residential area with housing for university students and employees. Its characteristic wooden buildings are listed on the regional heritage list.
The neighbourhood was built in 1952, to provide housing for the several thousand labourers from the Soviet Union, employed at the construction of the Palace of Culture and Science. Following its completion in 1955, it was repurposed to provide housing for university students and teachers.
