Konstanty Romuald Budkiewicz (Russian: Константин Ромуальд Юлианович Будкевич; June 19, 1867, – March 31, 1923) was a Polish Catholic priest executed by the OGPU after a sham trial for "organizing nonviolent resistance against the first Soviet anti-religious campaign." His beatification process has been opened, thus giving him the title Servant of God.
