Secret Polish Army (Polish: Tajna Armia Polska, TAP) was a Polish resistance movement founded in November 1939 in German-occupied Poland, which was active in the voivodeships of Warsaw, Podlasie, Kielce and Lublin.
Founders were:

The organization had up to 24,000 members at its peak.[when?] In 1940, it joined the Confederation of the Nation. In 1941, it became part of the Polish Home Army.
