Władysław Zygmunt Belina-Prażmowski (1888-1938) was a Polish cavalryman, colonel and politician.
Born on 3 May 1888 in Ruszkowiec. Member of Związek Walki Czynnej since 1909, later Związek Strzelecki. Student of Lwów Politechnic in 1919-1913. Serving under Józef Piłsudski, he became one of 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. Piłsudski would declare Belina's cavalry action "a most excuisite military action carried out by Polish cavalry in this war".
