Władysław Chmieliński (Warsaw 1911 - Warsaw 1979) was a painter associated with Warsaw. Between 1926 and 1931 he studied at the Warsaw Municipal School of Decorative Arts and Painting (former Drawing Class). He was most fond of immortalizing urban views of Warsaw's Old Town.
In the second half of the 1930s, he made a series of watercolors depicting monuments of Polish architecture (including Cracow, Kazimierz Dolny, Sandomierz, Lviv, Silesia). He also painted historical interiors of the Palace of Jan III Sobieski in Wilanow. In 1936-39 he used the pseudonym Władysław Stachowicz. In the 1960s he spent time in Denmark, painting landscapes there.
