Wojciech Dębołęcki, also spelled Wojciech Dembołęcki, was a Polish Franciscan friar, writer and composer. His musical works are among the first to use basso continuo. In his poetry, he praised the Sarmatism culture. He was the chaplain of one of the best military units of his times, irregular unit of Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth light cavalry - Lisowczycy, fighting on battlefields from Picardy to the banks of the White Sea. Dębołęcki has chronicled their history in his Przewagi elearów polskich, or The victories of Polish cavalry (1623).
