Wiśniowiecki is the name of a family notable in the history of Poland. They were powerful magnates of Ruthenian descent, Kniaz (prince) actually, in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, with vast possesions in the 16th to 18th centuries on the territories of today's Ukraine.

Likely the most notable members of this family were Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki, king of Poland from 1669 to 1673, and his father Jeremi Wiśniowiecki.
