Kornel Ujejski (September 12 1823 - September 19 1897), Polish poet, patriot and politic writer.

He was named "last of the greatest Polish poets of Romanticism".

His works

• Pieśni Salomona (The Songs of Solomon, 1846)
• Skargi Jeremiego (The Complaints of Jeremy, 1847)
• Do Moskali (To the Muscovites, 1862)
• Tłumaczenia Szopena (Translations of Chopin, 1866)

Ujejski was involved in Poland's struggle for independence after it had been partitioned and erased from the map of Europe by neighbouring countries (Russia, Prussia and Austria).

The political situation in occupied Poland was reflected in his poems and political writing. His writing conveyed patriotic and historic message and was meant to support the Polish people in their fight for independence.
