Nepomucena Kostecka, née Żółkowska (24 November 1807 – 10 March 1847) was a Polish stage actress. She belonged to the more noted artists on the Polish stage of her time.

Nepomucena Kostecka was the daughter of the comedian actor Fortunat Alojzy Gonzaga Żółkowski (1777–1822) and the half sibling of the actor Alojzy Gonzaga Jazon Żółkowski and sister of the actors brothers Luigi and Lucian Żółkowscy. She debuted on 20 September 1829 and was active until 5 February 1847, a month before her death, when she played the part of a Jew in Rejci Station postal Hulczy. She performed in both Warshaw and Krakow.

She married the actor Thomas Kosteckim (occurring mainly in the chorus of the Warsaw Government Theatre) and had five children. According to the critic John Jasinski Tomasz Seweryn, she was an outstanding character actor, outstanding in higher comedy and free of exaggeration.
