National road 8 (Polish: Droga krajowa nr 8, abbreviated as DK8) is a route in the Polish national road network, running diagonally through Poland from the Czech border in Kudowa Zdrój in the south-west to Raczki near the border with Lithuania in the north-east, through the Lower Silesia, Greater Poland, Łódź, Masovian and Podlaskie voivodeships.
