The Treaty of Kalisz (Polish: pokój kaliski, German: Vertrag von Kalisch) was a peace treaty signed by King Casimir III the Great of Poland and the Teutonic Knights on June 2, 1343 in Kalisz (the historical Calisia).

It concluded the Polish-Teutonic War (1326–1332). In an exchange, Poland regained Kuyavia and Dobrzyń Land.

The possession of Culmer Land (Chełmno Land), the area the Knights had received by Konrad I of Masovia in exchange to their service of fighting the pagans, was finally acknowledged by Poland, as were other territorial possessions of the Order, e.g. those gained by the Treaty of Soldin.
