Kazimierz Laskowski (7 November 1899 – 20 October 1961) was a Polish fencer and military officer. He won a bronze medal in the team sabre event at the 1928 Summer Olympics.[1][2]

In 1916, Laskowski joined the Polish Gymnastic Society "Sokół" in Warsaw.[3] He trained boxing, athletics and fencing.[3] He won two épée Polish championships (1929, 1931), and one sabre Polish championship (1930).[3] In the 1930s, he was a fencing and boxing coach at the Central Institute for Physical Exercise in Warsaw.[3]

Laskowski served since 1918 in the Polish Army.

He commanded a company of the Polish 95th Infantry Regiment during the German invasion of Poland at the start of World War II.[3] Afterwards, he was held by the Germans in the Oflag IV-D, Oflag IX-C, Oflag XI-B, Oflag II-C and Oflag II-A prisoner-of-war camps.[3]
