Stanisław Krzyżanowski (? – February 1917) was a Polish physician. He was among the earliest members of the Polish Socialist Party (PSP). He was born in Otwock, Poland.

Krzyżanowski, as a doctor, mostly treated poor Jewish people.^[1] During an outbreak of typhus in 1917 among his Jewish patients, Krzyżanowski eventually contracted the disease and subsequently died from its complications.^[2] His wife's name was Janina.

Krzyżanowski's life and politics had a ^[3] profound impact on his daughter Irena Sendler. At great personal risk, she was instrumental in rescuing over 2,500 Jewish babies and children from the Warsaw Ghetto in 1942 during the Nazi occupation of Poland.^[4]
