Walery Wladyslaw Daniel Lozinski (1880–1944) was a Polish geographer and soil scientist known for introducing the concept of periglaciation into geomorphology in 1909.
Lozinski extended the work of Swedish geologist Johan Gunnar Andersson who had written about periglacial phenomena in Bjørnøya and the Falkland Islands.
The concept of "periglaciation" was the subject of an intensive discussion at the 1910 International Geological Congress held in Stockholm.
