Michał Czajkowski (3 October 1934 – 15 February 2025) was a Polish Roman Catholic priest, professor of theological sciences, and specialist in New Testament biblical studies. He was an ecumenist, former co-chair of the Polish Council of Christians and Jews, and a member of the International Auschwitz Council from 2000 to 2006. Czajkowski was also an unofficial collaborator with the Security Service of the Polish People's Republic during two periods: briefly in 1956 and from 1960 to 1984. He was the only Polish Catholic priest to publicly admit to collaborating with the Security Service.
