Neminem captivabimus is a legal term in Polish and Lithuanian historical law that was short for neminem captivabimus nisi iure victum (Latin, "We shall not arrest anyone without a court verdict"). In the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, it was one of the szlachta's privileges, stating that the king could neither punish nor imprison any member of the szlachta without a viable court verdict.
