Edward Woyniłłowicz (Belarusian: Эдвард Вайніловіч, 13 October 1847 - 16 June 1928) was a Polish-Belarusian landowner, entrepreneur, philanthropist, public figure and the funder of the landmark "Red Church" of St. Simon and St. Helena on Independence Square in Minsk.

After graduation, he did an internship at Dr. Strausberg's locomotive factory in Hanover (Germany), worked for some time in Belgium, travelled in Italy, studied economics and agriculture in France and Prussia.

[1][5][7] Woyniłłowicz sympathised with the Belarusian independence movement and supported it financially, although he had reservations about its socialist ideas and opposed any kind of revolution.

When the looters were apprehended by the German military authorities and condemned to death, Woyniłłowicz successfully petitioned to commute their sentence.

[1][3][4][7] In July 1920, Woyniłłowicz went into exile with his family and settled in Bydgoszcz (the Second Polish Republic), where he funded a large home for orphans.

[1][3][7] On 6 September 2007, the Minsk local council decided to rename a small street next to the Red Church from the communist leader Berson to Woyniłłowicz.
