The 1794 Greater Poland Uprising (Polish: powstanie wielkopolskie 1794 roku) was a military insurrection by Poles in Wielkopolska (Greater Poland) against Kingdom of Prussia taking possession of this territory after the 1793 Second Partition of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Together with the assault by General Jan Henryk Dąbrowski, the uprising prevented the Prussians from intervening against Polish forces in the Kościuszko Uprising in central Poland against Imperial Russia.
