Romuald Giedroyć (Lithuanian: Romualdas Giedraitis; French: Romuald Gedroitze; 7 February 1750 – 15 October 1824) was a Polish-Lithuanian prince from the princely Giedroyć family, who fought in the Bar Confederation, War of 1792 and the Uprising of 1794 as part of the Grand Ducal Lithuanian Army. From mid-1812 to early 1813, Giedroyć was also the commander of the Polish-Lithuanian regiments raised during the French invasion of Russia. In early 1813, he was captured by the Russians and exiled to Arkhangelsk. In 1815, Alexander I of Russia amnestied Giedroyć and made him a Lieutenant general of the Army of Congress Poland.
