Jan Słomka (1842–1932) was the Habsburg Polish mayor of Dzików in the late 19th and early 20th century.

Słomka is perhaps best known for his memoir, From Serfdom to Self-Government: Memoirs of a Polish Village Mayor, with its descriptions of Polish peasant life from the time of Polish serfdom until after World War I.
