Wacław Potocki (; 1621–1696) was a Polish nobleman (''szlachcic''), moralist, poet, and writer. He was the podczaszy of Kraków from 1678 to 1685. He is remembered as one of the most important Polish baroque artists. His most famous works are: ''Transakcja wojny chocimskiej'' (also known as ''Wojna chocimska'' or ''The Chocim War'') and his collection of epigrams, ''Ogród fraszek'' (''Garden of Rhymes''). They give a vivid picture of ideas and manners among the szlachta (Polish gentry) towards the end of the Polish Golden Age, and of many political and religious conflicts.
