The 1806 Greater Poland Uprising (Polish: powstanie wielkopolskie 1806 roku) was a military insurrection by Poles in Wielkopolska (Greater Poland) against the occupying Prussian forces after the Partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (1772–1793).

The 1806 Greater Poland Uprising was organized by General Jan Henryk Dąbrowski to aid incoming French forces under Napoleon I in liberating Poland from Prussian occupation. The Wielkopolska Uprising was a decisive factor that allowed the formation of the Duchy of Warsaw (1806) and the inclusion of Wielkopolska in that polity.
