Zygmunt Przyjemski of Rawicz (died 3 June 1652)[1] was a Polish military commander and a member of the administration of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.

In his youth he served in the French army during the Thirty Years' War. A general of artillery[2] and, at the same time, the Field Writer of the Crown,[3] he was taken captive by the Cossacks in the Battle of Batoh, in which he commanded the Polish infantry. He was executed soon afterwards with a few thousands other Polish prisoners taken in that battle.
