Marian Spychalski (1906-1980) was a Polish soldier and communist politician. During World War II he was active in the communist resistance in Poland and was one of the leaders of the People's Guard and then People's Army movements. After the war he held a number of offices in the communist government of Poland, one of his first being that of mayor of Warsaw (18 September 1944 - March 1945), technically still while the war was in progress. Among other posts, he was a long-time member of Sejm (parliament) and, between 1968 and 1970, the chairman of the Council of State (the de iure head of state in the People's Republic of Poland).
