Przemysław Urbańczyk (born 21 October 1951) is a Polish archaeologist who is Professor of Archaeology at Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw and the Institute of Archeology and Ethnology at the Polish Academy of Sciences. He is the author of more than 400 scientific books and articles on the archaeological history of Europe. In 2021, Urbańczyk was part of an expert group in Sweden consisting of ten archaeologists and historians who evaluated two highly controversial findings presented by archaeologist Sven Rosborn. These findings included the Curmsun Disc, an artifact claimed to originate from the alleged grave of Harald Bluetooth in the ruined church in the village of Wiejkowo, Gmina Wolin, Poland, and a transcription of a purported medieval manuscript; Gesta Wulinensis ecclesiae pontificum. Urbańczyk dismissed the authenticity of the findings.
