The 1970 Polish protests (Polish: Grudzień 1970, lit. 'December 1970') occurred in northern Poland during December 14–19, 1970. The protests were sparked by a sudden increase in the prices of food and other everyday items. Strikes were put down by the Polish People's Army and the Citizen's Militia, resulting in at least 42 people killed and more than 1,000 wounded.
