Ludwik Władysław Franciszek Kondratowicz (29 September 1823 – 15 September 1862), better known as Władysław Syrokomla (Lithuanian: Vladislovas Sirokomlė), was a Polish–Lithuanian poet, writer and translator of the Romantic era.
His writings in the Polish language were mainly dedicated to the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Self-identifying as a Lithuanian, he himself was disappointed that he did not speak the Lithuanian language. He was often called the village lyrebird (Polish: lirnik wioskowy) and was the author of ironic poems stylized as 18th-century pastoral idylls and folk songs.
