"Ilustrowany Kurier Codzienny" (English: "Illustrated Daily Courier", commonly known as "IKC", also "Ikac") was a Polish daily as well as a publishing house, founded in 1910 in Kraków by Marian Dąbrowski. In the Second Polish Republic, the "IKC" was the biggest publisher of the country, its newspapers and magazines had a circulation of more than 400,000.

The company started with its flagship, the "Ilustrowany Kurier Codzienny" daily, in the course of the time, more titles were added. "IKC" was the only Polish newspaper available daily across Europe; it had offices in main Polish cities (Warsaw, Poznań, Katowice, Wilno, Lwów, Gdynia) as well as several European capitals. During World War I its circulation was 125,000 and it was limited to the area of Austrian Galicia. In the 1920s, "IKC" grew, becoming Poland's most popular daily, read by some 1 million people.
