Schron Armii Kraków z 1939 r. (Shelter of the Kraków Army from 1939) is a World War II-era military bunker located near the Silesian region of southern Poland. It formed part of the defensive fortifications constructed by the Kraków Army (Armia Kraków) in the weeks leading up to the September 1939 campaign. These positions were intended to delay the advance of German forces following the invasion of Poland.

The structure, referenced in recent documentation as 'Schron 76,' exemplifies the smaller, standardized field fortifications built by the Polish Army in 1939. Its design was functional, focusing on providing cover for infantry and potentially light equipment. The bunker's concrete construction and strategic placement within the local terrain reflect the urgent defensive preparations undertaken by Poland on the eve of the war.

Today, the bunker remains as a historical relic of the 1939 defensive war. It is documented in modern photographic surveys and historical trails that commemorate the fortifications of the Kraków Army. The site serves as a point of interest for military history enthusiasts and those studying the initial phase of World War II in Poland. Its current condition is that of a partially exposed, weathered concrete structure, overgrown in places, but still recognizable as a wartime fortification.
