Władysław Szlengel (1912 – 8 May 1943) was a Polish poet, lyricist, journalist, and stage actor of Jewish decent.

In 1930, Władysław Szlengel graduated from the Merchants' Assembly Trade School of the City of Warsaw.

Many of his poems document the Holocaust, including "Umschlagplatz" procedures, transports to Treblinka extermination camp, and circumstances of Janusz Korczak's death.

During his confinement to the Ghetto, he sought in vain to find refuge on the "Aryan" side,[5] and collaborated with Oyneg Shabbos.

He and his wife died during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, murdered by the Germans after being discovered in the bunker at Świętojerska Street 36, where they had a hiding place.
