Pola Nirenska (28 July 1910 — 25 July 1992), born Pola Nirensztajn, was a Polish-born Jewish performer of modern dance.
She had a critically acclaimed if brief career in Austria, Germany, Italy, and Poland in the 1930s before fleeing the continent in 1935 due to rising antisemitism.
She spent 14 years in the United Kingdom, primarily entertaining refugees, troops, and war workers.
She emigrated to the United States in 1949 and settled in Washington, D.C., where she was widely acknowledged as the city's leading choreographer and performer of modern dance until her death.
