The present paper summarized data on parasites of percid fishes (Actinopterygii: Percidae), such as pike-perch, European perch and ruffe from estuaries of the Polish coastal zone are listed, based on published records and long-term surveys carried out by the author. Parasites are listed alphabetically, separately for each host and for each parasite group with notes on their location on the host and geographical distribution (with references). A total of 41 species (taxa) of parasites were recorded on pike-perch Sander lucioperca (6 Ciliophora, 1 Myxozoa, 1 Monogenea, 11 Digenea, 4 Cestoda, 6 Nematoda, 5 Acanthocephala, 1 Mollusca, 1 Hirudinea, 4 Copepoda and 1 Branchiura). European perch, Perca fluviatilis, harboured 60 parasites (6 Ciliophora, 4 Myxozoa, 1 Monogenea, 18 Digenea, 9 Cestoda, 10 Nematoda, 5 Acanthocephala, 1 Mollusca, 1 Hirudinea, 4 Copepoda and 1 Branchiura). Ruffe Gymnocephalus cernuus featured 43 parasites (1 Microsporidia, 7 Ciliophora, 3 Myxozoa, 1 Monogenea, 13 Digenea, 5 Cestoda, 8 Nematoda, 2 Acanthocephala, 1 Mollusca and 2 Copepoda).
