Jadwiga Harasowska, née Zbrożek, of the Jasieńczyk coat of arms (born 3 April 1904 in Kraków, died 11 February 1978 in Newark-on-Trent), was a Polish publisher, journalist, and émigré activist.

Before September 1939, she served as the editorial secretary of the Kraków press conglomerate Ilustrowany Kuryer Codzienny. Starting in early 1940, she engaged in publishing activities in Glasgow to support the Polish military stationed in the United Kingdom. She also organized cultural initiatives and fostered social ties between the Polish military and Scottish society, leaving a lasting legacy.

Harasowska co-founded Dziennik Polski i Dziennik Żołnierza, a Polish newspaper that continues to be published in London. She was married to Adam Harasowski, a composer, conductor, and engineer.
