This article is about the 18th century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth prince. For the 17th century Prince with a similar name, see Michal Kazimierz Radziwill.

Prince Michał Kazimierz Radziwiłł (Belarusian: Міхал Казімер Радзівіл 1702-1762) was a Polish-Lithuanian szlachcic. He was frequently referred to by his idiolect Rybeńko (Рыбанька), to distinguish him from the other Michał Kazimierz Radziwiłł. Ordynat of Niasviž and Olyka, owner of Biržai, Dubingiai, Slutsk and Kopyła.

He was a koniuszy of Lithuania since 1728, Court Marshal of Lithuania since 1734, Field Hetman of Lithuania and castellan of Trakai (Troki) since 1737, castellan of Vilnius since 1742, voivod of Vilnius and Grand Hetman of Lithuania since 1744. Like his father, he was the starost of a number of towns, including Przemysl, Bratslav, Kamieniec Podolski, Człuchów, Ostra, Krzyczów, Ovruch, Nowy Targ, Parczew, Osiek and Kaunas.

On April 23, 1725 in Biala Krynica he married Urszula Franciszka Wiśniowiecka. Later married Anna Luiza Mycielska on January 2, 1754 in Lwów. Awarded with the Order of the White Eagle in August 1727.

Rybeńko was a man of average intellect, an egocentric and a snob, at the same time as which he was single-minded and magnanimous. Nevertheless, in fundamental issues he was capable of being resolute. He was fervently religious, generally cheerful, fond of entertainment and keen on hunting. As a hetman, "Rybenko" was a parody of a military leader, with no talent whatsoever. At the same time he was an honest and principle-minded figure to such a degree that he was an exception to the generally corrupt and morally abject elites of Poland in the 18th century.[1]
