Władysław Siciński

Władysław Wiktoryn Siciński ( _lt. Čičinskas) (ca. 1615-1672) was a member of the Polish-Lithuanian nobility and dignitary of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Lord Master-of-the-Table (since 1655) and Lord Vice-Justice (since 1666) of Upytė, he was among the envoys of the Trakai Voivodeship nobility to the Parliament of 1652.

A Protestant, he is credited with using the liberum veto for the first time in Polish history, most likely under influence of Janusz Radziwiłł.
