Władysław Mazurkiewicz (1871–1933) was a Polish physician and professor at the University of Warsaw.

In May 1901, together with Aleksander Sulkiewicz, he helped Józef Piłsudski escape from a mental hospital in St. Petersburg, Russia, to which Piłsudski had been transferred from the Warsaw Citadel after feigning mental illness.[1][2]

In 1920, he was appointed Director of the University of Warsaw's Pharmacy Division of the Faculty of Medicine.[3] He chaired the national committee which produced the first edition of the Polish Pharmacopoeia.[4]
