Tadeusz Pietrzak (27 August 1926 – 10 March 2014) was a brigadier general of the Polish People's Army, Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs.

In the following years he was deputy head of the Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the Polish Army (1961–1963).

In 1963 he was promoted to the rank of brigadier general and the nomination was presented to him in the Belweder Palace by the chairman of the State Council of the Polish People's Republic Aleksander Zawadzki.

In December 1970 he participated in a conference in the office of the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Polish United Workers' Party Władysław Gomułka, during which a decision was made to use weapons against protesters on the Coast.

The Ministry of National Defence refused to provide a military guard of honour at his funeral due to protests from veterans' organisations,[7] which argued that as a participant in the fights against the anti-communist resistance and one of those responsible for the massacre of workers on the coast in 1970, he should not be entitled to such a guard.
