Map of planned first line

The Kraków Metro is a planned premetro system in the Polish city of Kraków.

The first plan for the construction of a Kraków Metro appeared in the 1960s, when the conference of scientists and transport specialists entitled "Metro in Krakow" was held. In 1973 work began on tunnel underneath the Krakow's main railway station. According to the initial plans, the structure was to be much longer, but at the end only a 1420-metre-long tram tunnel from the Mogilskie Roundabout to Kraków University of Technology was opened in 2008.

The idea of building the Kraków Metro came back in 2014, when the project was put to a referendum, in which 55.11% of residents voted in favour of its implementation. In 2021 a feasibility study of the project was presented, where the premetro variant from Bronowice to Nowa Huta was recommended. As of January 2024, the environmental impact assessment is being made. Due to the current plans, the construction works could start in 2029 and will last for around 4 years.
