Jerzy Łojek (3 September 1932 – 7 October 1986) was a Polish historian and opposition activist in the People's Republic of Poland. He specialized in European, Polish and Russian history of the 17th to 20th centuries. Some of his works were first published underground. The communist government prevented him from receiving a professorship.[1][2][3][4]
His wife was the historian Bożena Mamontowicz-Łojek, who served as President of the Polish Katyn Foundation.
