The '''Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics''' ({{langx|de|Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik}}, IPP) is a [[physics]] [[institute]] investigating the physical foundations of a [[fusion power]] plant. 
The IPP is an institute of the [[Max Planck Society]], part of the [[European Atomic Energy Community]], and an associated member of the [[Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres|Helmholtz Association]].

The IPP has two sites: [[Garching bei München|Garching]] near [[Munich]] (founded 1960) and [[Greifswald]] (founded 1994), both in [[Germany]].

It owns several large devices, namely the experimental [[tokamak]] [[ASDEX Upgrade]] (in operation since 1991), the experimental [[stellarator]] [[Wendelstein 7-X]] (in operation since 2016),  a [[Particle accelerator#Tandem electrostatic accelerators|tandem accelerator]] and a high heat flux test facility (GLADIS)

Furthermore it cooperates closely with the [[ITER]], [[DEMOnstration Power Station|DEMO]] and [[Joint European Torus|JET]] projects.

The International Helmholtz Graduate School for Plasma Physics partners with the [[Technical University of Munich]] (TUM) and the [[University of Greifswald]]. Associated partners are the Leibniz Institute for Plasma Science and Technology (INP) in Greifswald and the Leibniz Computational Center (LRZ) in Garching.<ref>{{cite web
