Włodzimierz Sokorski (2 July 1908, Oleksandrivsk – 2 May 1999, Warsaw) was a Polish communist official, writer, military journalist and a brigadier general in the People's Republic of Poland.
He was the Minister of Culture and Art responsible for the implementation of the socialist realist doctrine in Poland.
In 1949 at the Congress of Polish Composers in Łagów he banned jazz, after a four-and-a-half-hour diatribe on the "imperialist rot" poisoning people's minds.
He wrote memoirs, novels with strong sexual undertones, and was showered with state medals and awards.
