Józef Thomasz Rostafiński (14 August 1850 – 5 May 1928) was a Polish botanist. He was born in Warsaw, and studied in Jena, Halle, and Strassburg, where he achieved his PhD before being appointed lecturer at the university of Krakow.[1]

One of his books, the Przewodnik do oznaczania roślin w Polsce dziko rosnących (Guide to Wild Plants in Poland), had 21 editions between 1886 and 1979.

Streets bearing his name can be found in the Polish cities of Kraków, Warsaw, and Wrocław.[citation needed]
