Edmund Ludwik Bartłomiejczyk (born November 5, 1885 in Warsaw, died September 5, 1950 there) - Polish graphic artist and academic teacher.
He studied in Cracow in 1906-1909 under the tutelage of Jan Stanislawski and Wojciech Weiss. Then - in 1910-1913 - he studied at the School of Fine Arts in Warsaw. In 1918 the Competition for Postal Brands of the Kingdom of Poland was held. It was organized by the Warsaw Art Society, which won the right to purchase selected works and use them to issue postage stamps immediately after Poland regained its independence. Most of his designs qualified for issuance and were issued the following year.
