Kazimierz Ajdukiewicz (born in December 12, 1890 in Tarnopol, Galicia (now Ternopil', Ukraine) - April 12, 1963 in Warsaw, Poland) was a Polish philosopher, mathematician and logician.

He originated several novel ideas around formal logic, including the then-supposed categorial grammar used by many formal linguists.
