Witold Małcużyński (August 10, 1914[1] – July 17, 1977[1]) was a distinguished Polish pianist who specialized in the works of Frédéric Chopin.

Originally, he intended to study law but his innate love of music overcame his initial decision and he switched to music and enrolled at the Warsaw Conservatory from which he graduated with high honours, studying under Józef Turczyński.

There, he joined the artistic-propaganda section of the Polish Army and visited military camps.

After the capitulation of France, he and his new wife escaped in a sealed traincar to Portugal, where he met the conductor Grzegorz Fitelberg, who offered him a tour of South America.

Essential to his American career was the violinist Yehudi Menuhin, who initially helped him with management issues.
