Jan (Latin: Johannes Wrotizlaensis episcopus) was the first bishop of Wrocław. He took power over the diocese of Wrocław at the time of its establishment in the year 1000.^[1]

He had a brick cathedral to replace an older wooden church, but this was destroyed in a pagan revolt in 1031, and the diocese ceased to function.The diocese was re-established in 1050 with Jerome as Bishop.^[2]
