Prince Ignacy Massalski (Lithuanian: Ignotas Jokūbas Masalskis) (1726–1794) was a Polish-Lithuanian nobleman.
Ignacy was Bishop of Vilnius and one of the initiators of the Commission for National Education. After few years he was removed from the Commission for embezzlement of public funds [1]. He was a supporter of the Targowica Confederation and an opponent of the Kościuszko Uprising.
Masalski had commissioned the reconstruction of the Vilnius Cathedral to its present appearance. Since 1780 he has owned the Verkiai Palace and organized its major reconstruction in the Neoclassical style by Laurynas Gucevičius. Accused as traitor of the state he was hanged in Warsaw on 28 June by the angry mob in the aftermath of the Warsaw Uprising (1794).
