Central Archives of Historical Records in Warsaw (Polish: Archiwum Główne Akt Dawnych w Warszawie, AGAD) is one of Poland's three national archives. It holds records ranging from 12th century until World War I. The current headquarters are located in the Raczyński Palace at 7 Długa Street in Warsaw.
The AGAD was founded in 1808.

A large portion of the AGAD's holdings were intentionally destroyed by Nazi Germany during World War II in 1939 and in 1944. In the aftermath of the suppression of the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, the archives were not only deliberately set ablaze, but the Nazi German troops also entered each of the nine accessible fire-proof vaults in the underground shelter and meticulously burned one after another (the entrance to the 10th was blocked by rubble, thus saving its contents).
The archive went through several name changes:
