Stanisław Swianiewicz (7 November 1899 – 22 May 1997) was a Polish economist, Sovietologist and historian. A veteran of the successful Polish-Soviet War, he was during World War II a survivor of the Katyn massacre and an eyewitness of the transport of Polish prisoners-of-war to the forests outside Smolensk by the NKVD. Before the war, in the Second Polish Republic, he led the economic department at the Eastern Europe Scientific-Research Institute, headquartered in Wilno as part of the Stefan Batory University; along with the Eastern Institute in Warsaw they were predecessors of the current Centre for Eastern Studies.
