The Weimar Triangle is an informal political association of Germany, France and Poland that emerged in 1991. The first meeting of the foreign ministers of the three countries was held in the German city of Weimar.

The primary goal of the Weimar Triangle was to promote Poland's accession to NATO and the EU. However, the association continued to exist after Poland became a member of these organizations.Within the framework of the Weimar Triangle, the leaders of the three states and ministers meet to develop a common position on important issues.
