Jan Rompski (8 December 1913 – 30 December 1969; Kashubian: Jón Rómpsczi) was a Kashubian activist, poet, writer, journalist and ethnographer. He was one of the most important people in the Zrzeszyńce organization. During World War II he belonged to the secret anti-Nazi organization Pomeranian Griffin (Krëjamnô Wòjskòwô Òrganizacëjô "Pòmòrsczi Grif"). He was imprisoned in a concentration camp Stutthof. After the war he finished his studies at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń and was strongly involved in the Kashubian movement.
