Plac Wilsona ("Wilson Square") is the chief square of northern Warsaw's Żoliborz district. It is also one of the Polish capital's main transport hubs, with several bus and streetcars stops (opened to the public June 1, 1934).

Named for U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, after World War II (1951) it was renamed Plac Komuni Paryskiej (Paris Commune Square). In 1991 the original name was restored.
