Richard Andrew Woytak (Poland, 18 December 1940 – 6 March 1998, Monterey, California, United States) was a Polish–American historian who specialized in European history of the Interbellum and World War II.
He was the author of the 1979 book, On the Border of War and Peace: Polish Intelligence and Diplomacy in 1937-1939, and the Origins of the Ultra Secret.
In the course of his researches, Woytak interviewed many shapers of 20th-century history, such as Polish cryptologist Marian Rejewski, and met many of its chroniclers, including Władysław Kozaczuk.
A selection of Woytak's interviews was published posthumously as Werble historii (History's Drumroll), edited by and with introduction by Stanisław Krasucki, illustrated with 36 photographs, Bydgoszcz, Poland, Związek Powstańców Warszawskich w Bydgoszczy, 1999, 240 pp., ISBN 83-902357-8-1.
The interviewees were Marian Rejewski, Stefan Mayer, Jan Leśniak, Józef Smoleński, Wacław Jędrzejewicz, Adam Ciołkosz, Kazimierz Smogorzewski, Wiesław Arlet and Janusz Kodrębski.
