Prince Konstanty Wasyl Ostrogski (Ruthenian: Костεньтин Ѡстрозский,; Ukrainian: Костянтин-Василь Острозький, romanized: Kostiantyn-Vasyl Ostrozkyi; Belarusian: Канстантын Васіль Астрожскi; Lithuanian: Konstantinas Vasilijus Ostrogiškis; 2 February 1526 – 23 or 29 February 1608) was a Ruthenian Orthodox magnate of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, starost of Volodymyr, marshal of Volhynia and voivode of Kiev. One of the most powerful and influential figures in Ukrainian lands during the 16–17th centuries, Ostrogski became famous as founder of the Ostroh Academy and protector of Eastern Orthodox religion.
In 2008, the council of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate proclaimed Konstanty Wasyl Ostrogski a saint and established his feast day on 26 February [O.S. 13 February].
