Wladyslaw Zygmunt Belina-Prazmowski (3 May 1888 in Ruszkowiec – 13 October 1938 in Venice), was a Polish cavalryman, colonel and politician. He was a member of Zwiazek Walki Czynnej since 1909, later Zwiazek Strzelecki.
Student of Lwów Politechnic in 1919-1913. Serving under Józef Pilsudski, he became one of the first Polish soldiers - formally under Austrian command - who entered Russian-held Polish territory during the First World War.
Member of Polish Legions, organizer and commander of 1st Regiment of Polish Uhlans and later 1st Brigade of Polish Uhlans.
Later he fought in the Polish-Ukrainian War (1918–1919) and Polish-Soviet War (1919–1921).
In April 1919 his troops were instrumental in taking Wilno.
Pilsudski would declare Belina's cavalry action a most exquisite military action carried out by Polish cavalry in this war. From 1929 he lived in Kraków and retired from the military.
In 1931-1933 he was a mayor of Kraków and from 1933 to 1937, voivode of Lwów.
In 1938 he retired from public work due to worsening health; he died later that year, aged fifty.
