Waliszewski [valiˈʂɛvski] (with its female form Waliszewska [valiˈʂɛvska] and plural form Waliszewscy [valiˈʂɛvst͡sɨ]) is a Polish surname which is most prevalent in the Greater Poland, Łódź, Masovian and Kuyavian-Pomeranian voivodeships in central Poland and is also present in the Polish diaspora. It was first recorded in 1397 and is of toponymic origin, deriving either from Waliszewice, two small villages with the name Waliszew or a third, now defunct Waliszew which later separated into Waliszew Dworski and Stary Waliszew, small settlements in the Łódź and Masovian voivodeships. The stem of the toponym Waliszew is derived from the diminutive form Walisz of the old polish male name Walisław/Wolisław (from polish wola "will" and sława "glory").

  • Aleksandra Waliszewska (born 1976), Polish painter, graphic artist and illustrator
