"Gwiazdka Cieszyńska" was a weekly Polish magazine published in Cieszyn in 1851-1939. After 1906 it appeared biweekly. It succeeded "Tygodnik Cieszyński" magazine which appeared in 1848-1851.

The magazine accented the Polishness of Silesia and aimed to enlighten and emancipate the people of Cieszyn Silesia, spread national consciousness among Poles and present the Polish history and traditions. It however disavowed from the radical social slogans. [Spyra 2008, 36.] During the absolutist Bach system of 1850s-1860s of Austrian Empire it was the only Polish magazine in Cieszyn Silesia. [Kenig 1998, 51.] In 1860s it had about 1,400 abonents, 300 of whom in Silesia, 600 in Galicia. [Kenig 1998, 7.]

Since the 1880s "Gwiazdka Cieszyńska" presented almost exclusively Catholic views, this was related to the spiritual evolution of editor Paweł Stalmach, who on the deathbed converted to Catholicism. [Kenig 1998, 8.] From 1888 it was financed by the "Katolickie Towarzystwo Prasowe" (Catholic Press Society).

"Gwiazdka Cieszyńska" later became the press body of "Związek Śląskich Katolików" (ZŚlK, Association of Silesian Catholics), which in February 1923 merged with the Polish Christian Democratic Party. Before his death, editor Józef Londzin entailed the magazine together with its whole property to the "Dziedzictwo Błogosławionego Jana Sarkandra" (Heritage of Blessed Jan Sarkander). In 1927 reactivated "Związek Śląskich Katolików" quarrelled with "Dziedzictwo Błogosławionego Jana Sarkandra" before the elections to the Silesian Sejm. In consequence ZŚlK lost its press body. [Kenig 1998, 21.] In 1930 the magazine adopted the Polish Christian Democratic stances.

The magazine stood also against the influence of the socialist movement.

Several regional writers, including Andrzej Cinciała, Ernest Farnik, Emanuel Grim, Jan Kubisz and Oskar Zawisza contributed to "Gwiazdka Cieszyńska".
