General Pulaski Memorial Day is a United States holiday in honor of General Casimir Pulaski, a Polish hero of the American Revolution. This holiday is held every year on October 11 by Presidential Proclamation, to commemorate his death at the Siege of Savannah on October 11, 1779.

New York City has an annual Pulaski Day Parade and Grand Rapids, Michigan holds Pulaski Days at this time.

Some areas with large Polish populations celebrate Casimir Pulaski Day on the first Monday of every March, marking Pulaski's March 4, 1747 birth. Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana have state recognition of this holiday, which is particularly popular in Chicago and Milwaukee.
