Kordian Józef Zamorski (Rzepiennik, near Gorlice, April 1, 1890 – December 19, 1983, London) was a Polish military officer and (1935–39) chief of the Polish State Police (Policja Panstwowa).
In his latter capacity, he was regarded by critics as a repressor of political dissent.
Zamorski served in the Polish Legions in 1914–17, and as chief of staff of the Headquarters of the Polish Military Organisation.
After the 1917 oath crisis, he served in the Austrian Army, and after November 1918 in the Polish Army.
In 1920, he was chief of staff of the Army of the Republic of Central Lithuania, and then chief of staff of the Headquarters of Military District (Okreg Korpusu) III in Grodno (1923–24), assistant director of the General Staff of the Polish Army (1928–35), and chief of the Polish State Police (1935–39). In 1966 he was promoted to the military rank of general dywizji. Zamorski died in London, England, on 19 December 1983.
