Jerzy Krzysztof Eisler (born 12 June 1952 in Warsaw) is a Polish historian, focusing mostly on the history of Poland during the communist era. He is a professor at the History Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences, and member of the Institute of National Remembrance in Warsaw.

Works
In Communist Poland, Eisler primarily researched Vichy France to avoid censorship; however, during the 80s, as Solidarity gained mileage in Polish politics, he authored texts on contemporary history for circulation in the underground. In post-Communist Poland, his habilitation dissertation was on the 1968 Polish political crisis.
