The Organic Statute of the Kingdom of Poland (Polish: Statut Organiczny dla Królestwa Polskiego) was a quasi-constitution replacing the Constitution of the Kingdom of Poland in the aftermath of the November Uprising in 1832.

The Statute, signed by Emperor Nicholas I of Russia, replaced the personal union between the Kingdom of Poland and Russian Empire with "eternal incorporation" of Poland into Russia. The Parliament (Polish: Sejm) of the Kingdom was abolished, and its army merged with the Russian Army.

Remaining resemblances of autonomy left intact by the Statute included: the Council of State, Administrative Council and Bank of Poland. Out of five governmental commissions, two (military and religious/educational) were dissolved (leaving only treasury, justice and internal affairs). The power of Namestnik of the Kingdom of Poland was increased.
