The Gabriel Narutowicz Institute of Political Thought (Polish: Instytut Myśli Politycznej im. Gabriela Narutowicza) is a Polish educational and historical research institute. Announced to appear at a press conference on 3 February 2020, it was formally inaugurated by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage, Piotr Gliński, on 17 February that year.

Its stated goal is to conduct research in the history of Poland through the lens of political philosophy, with most attention devoted to the analyses on Catholic, conservative and National Democratic thought, though some have raised doubts about the true purpose and impartiality of the organisation.

Since its inception, it has started the Patriotic Fund to promote its goals and is currently repurposing a manor in north-eastern Poland for the Roman Dmowski museum. It has also participated in the lawsuit against the National Radical Camp as an expert witness.
