Marcin Kalinowski (c.1605–1652) was a Polish nobleman (szlachta). He began his studies in Poland and continued his education at the University of Louvain. His considerable wealth enabled him to establish his own private army, which suppressed Cossack riots and Tatar raids in Ukraine. In 1635 he became the first voivode (governor) of the Czernihów Voivodship. In 1646 he was appointed Field Crown Hetman. During the Chmielnicki Uprising, he was captured by the Tatars after the Battle of Korsun in 1648. He was a prisoner-of-war until 1650. In 1651, he participated in the Battle of Beresteczko. Marcin Kalinowski died during the blockade of a Polish camp by the united Cossack-Tatar army in Batoh on June 1, 1652.
