Edward Marczewski (15 November 1907 – 17 October 1976[2]) was a Polish mathematician.

He was born Szpilrajn but changed his name while hiding from Nazi persecution.

His life and work after the Second World War were connected with Wrocław, where he was among the creators of the Polish scientific centre.

He worked at the State Institute of Mathematics, which was incorporated into the Polish Academy of Sciences in 1952.

(Certain contributions to this development were also made by Samuel Eilenberg, see: Witold Hurewicz and Henry Wallman, Dimension Theory, 1941, Chapter VII.)
