Antoni Komendo-Borowski (6 June 1912 – 12 May 1984) was a Polish footballer who played as a forward.[1][2][3] He scored in his sole appearance for the Poland national team, in a 3–3 draw against Latvia on 15 September 1935.[4]

During World War II, he fought in the September campaign, following which he was imprisoned in a POW camp in Hungary.[4] In 1944, he was injured in the Battle of Monte Cassino.[5]

A statue commemorating Komendo-Borowski and fellow former Jagiellonia player and soldier, Julian Buchcik, was erected outside the Białystok Stadium in May 2022.[5]
