Jan Karol Dolski of Kościesza (1637–1695) was a member of the nobility of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. Throughout his life he held a number of posts, including the post of Grand Marshal of Lithuania, Court Marshal of Lithuania, and Cup-bearer. He was also the starost of Pinsk and was responsible for extending that town considerably.

During Swedish invasion of Poland, also known as the Deluge, he fielded a chorągiew of cavalry and commanded it personally in the Battle of Warsaw (1656). He also led a regiment in the Russo-Polish War (1654–67) and then took part in quelling the Lubomirski's Rebellion.

In 1667 and 1668 he was a deputy to the Polish General sejm. A supporter of Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki, he supported his election as the new king of Poland in 1669. The following year he received the honorary title of the Grand Carver of Lithuania.

He took part in the battle of Chocim (1673). In 1674 he supported Jan III Sobieski in the next elections for the king of Poland. For his merits in 1676 the Sejm granted him with a prize of 20 thousand złoty. A senior member of the Sejm, in 1678 and 1679 he preceded the king's council. He founded a Piarist college in Dubrovica in 1684. In 1685 he became the Court Marshal of Lithuania, and in 1691 the grand marshal.

Personal life

Dolski was married twice. His second wife, Anna Dolska, held a debt from the city of Pinsk for forty thousand złoty.
