Juliusz Hibner (real name Dawid Szwarc; 11 October 1912 – 13 November 1994) was a brigadier general in the Polish People's Army and recipient of the title of Hero of Soviet Union.

In 1931, Hibner graduated from a gymnasium in Ternopil and in the summer of the same year, he joined the Young Communist League of Western Ukraine (KZMZU), an autonomous section of the Union of Polish Youth, where he was active in the propaganda division.

In 1933 he returned to Ternopil, where he continued his activity in KZMZU, acting for the benefit of Communist Party of Western Ukraine.

In March 1938, it was transferred to line units, and he was soon promoted to the rank of captain, assuming the position of battalion commander.

In March 1939, the group along with Hibner, took the initiative to return to Poland in the face of the threat of German aggression.

On 29 August 1943, he was assigned to the 1st Tadeusz Kościuszko Infantry Division, where he was appointed as the deputy commander of the regiment's political affairs.

He was erroneously presumed dead and was posthumously nominated for the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, when in fact he was being treated at a military hospital.

The Internal Security Corps troops led by Hibner have been associated with numerous crimes and repressions against the Polish opposition activists and the civilian population.

Hibner's wife Irena Bozena Puchalska-Hibner, who was a French and Polish physicist, wrote memoirs of her husband which was published in 2001.
