Wojciech Baranowski (1548 – 23 September 1615) was archbishop of Gniezno and primate of Poland.

[1] In 1581 he was ordained a priest[2] and became the royal secretary of Stefan Batory, accompanying him during the Pskov campaign.

[3] Also in 1587, on behalf of the senate, he welcomed Zygmunt III's deputation on a ship in Gdańsk, insisting that he sign a pacta conventa containing a promise to join Estonia to the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.

On 14 May 1607 he was transferred to the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Diocese, and on 28 July 1608 he was appointed Archbishop of Gniezno.
