Konrad Krajewski (pronounced [ˈkɔn.rat kraˈjɛf.skʲi]; born 25 November 1963) is a Polish Catholic prelate who was named Archbishop of Łódź in March 2026. He served as prefect of the Dicastery for the Service of Charity from 2013 to 2026. He served as Papal Master of Ceremonies from 1998 to 2013.

In 2013, Krajewski was appointed as Papal Almoner to coordinate the charitable concerns of Pope Francis and lead the Office of Papal Charities; this became the Dicastery for the Service of Charity when the apostolic constitution Praedicate evangelium took effect in June 2022. Pope Francis made Krajewski a cardinal on 28 June 2018.
