Wincenty Pstrowski (born 28 May 1904; died 18 April 1948 in Krakow) was a Polish miner, known as the Polish Stakhanov and recognized with awards for his high productivity, during the Three Year Plan. Pstrowski was given the title of "przodownik pracy" when in 1947 he achieved 270 percent expected efficiency per month. Pstrowski died in 1948 due to misconducted dental intervention, but in popular opinion (and official propaganda), due to deadly exhaustion.
