Bruno Jasieński (Polish: [ˈbrunɔ jaˈɕeɲskʲi]; born Victor Bruno Sysmann; Polish: Wiktor Bruno Zysman; Russian: Зисман, Виктор Яковлевич; 17 July 1901 – 17 September 1938), was a Polish poet, novelist, playwright, Catastrophist, and leader of the Polish Futurist movement in the interwar period. Jasieński was also a communist activist in Poland, France and the Soviet Union, where he was executed during the Great Purge. He is acclaimed by members of the various modernist art groups as their patron. An annual literary festival Brunonalia is held in Klimontów, Poland, his birthplace, where one of the streets is also named after him.
