Ludwik Abramowicz-Niepokójczycki (1879–1939) was a Polish activist, biliophile, publicist and editor. He was one of the major activists of the "krajowcy" faction, living in Vilnius (Wilno).

There he was active contributor to "Gazeta Wilenska", founded by Michał Römer. Later he was an editor of Polish language newspaper "Przegląd Wileński" (Wilno Review, 1912–1913, 1921–1939). The newspaper promoted krajowcy views and developed Lithuanian cultural ideas separate from Polish culture. After Abramowicz returned to Vilnius in 1919, he actively promoted the idea, that Vilnius Region should be transferred to Lithuania without tying Lithuania to union with Poland, although he suggested a cultural autonomy for Poles. The issues of the "Przegląd Wileński" newspaper were confiscated many times by local authorities.

Abramovicz held active correspondence with Lithuanian Jonas Šliūpas and other Lithuanian activists. Abramovicz delivered a speech at Jonas Basanavičius funeral.
