Leopold Skulski (; 15 November 1878, Zamość – after 1939, likely in 1940) was prime minister of Poland from 1919 to 1920.
He was involved in politics from at least the mid 1910s, and served as mayor of Łódź between 1917 an 1919. He became a deputy in the Polish parliament (Sejm) after the 1919 elections, and on 13 December 1919 he became the Prime Minister of Poland. His government resigned on 9 June, in the aftermath of the failure of the Kiev Offensive and the success of the Bolshevik counteroffensive. He was also the Minister of Internal Affairs under the government of Wincenty Witos (from 24 July 1920 to 28 June 1921). He was a member of the State Tribunal of Poland from 1925. President of the Polish Radio in the 1930s, he did not take an active role in political life in the last decade of his life.
During the Invasion of Poland he was arrested in Pińsk by the Soviet NKVD; shortly thereafter he died in the NKVD prison in Brest.
