Zbigniew Lengren (1919 – 2003) was a Polish cartoonist, caricaturist, and illustrator, of Swedish descent. He was awarded the "Order of Smile" amongst other, numerous awards. His most famous creation is Professor Filutek, who appeared once a week on the last page of Przekrój magazine, together with his dog Filus, for over 50 years, a record run in Polish comics. Lengren was also a writer, especially of poems for children.
