Stanisław Łubieński (1573–1640) was a Polish noble, Catholic priest and politician. He was born in Łubna and belonged to the Pomian coat of arms. He served King Sigismund III as Royal Secretary from 1591 and led the Royal Chancellery as Regent from 1614 to 1628. He was bishop of Łuck (Lutsk) from 1622 and bishop of Płock from 1627 until his death. He also held the offices of Crown Secretary and Deputy Chancellor of the Crown (1626–1628). A strong supporter of the Counter-Reformation, Łubieński was friends with the poet Maciej Sarbiewski and wrote important historical chronicles, including a detailed account of the rokosz (rebellion) of Zebrzydowski. He died on 16 April 1640 in Wyszków.
