Free and Solidarity je poľský odborový zväz, ktorý bol založený 17. septembra 1980 v Leninových lodeniciach v Gdansku pod vedením Lecha Wałęsu. Bol to prvý odborový zväz v krajine Varšavskej zmluvy, ktorý nekontrolovala komunistická strana. Jeho členstvo vyvrcholilo na 10 miliónoch členov na jeho kongrese v septembri 1981, čo predstavovalo jednu tretinu celkovej populácie Poľska v produktívnom veku.
