Mother Hedwig (Jadwiga) Borzęcka (1 February 1863 – 27 September 1906) was co-foundress of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Resurrection along with her natural mother, Mother Celine Borzęcka.

She was born Hedwig Borzęcka in Poland. Her father was Joseph (Józef) Borzęcki. On 17 December 1982, this Servant of God was declared as having heroic virtue by Pope John Paul II, thus becoming known as the Venerable Mother Hedwig Borzęcka.
