Marcin Kalinowski (c. 1605 – 1652) was a Polish nobleman (szlachta). He began his studies in Poland and continued his education at the University of Leuven.[1] His considerable wealth enabled him to establish his own private army, which suppressed Cossack riots and Tatar raids in Ukraine. In 1635 he became the first voivode (governor) of the Czernihów Voivodship. In 1646 he was appointed Field Crown Hetman. During the Khmelnytsky Uprising, he was captured by the Tatars after the Battle of Korsun in 1648. He was a prisoner-of-war until 1650. On May 12, 1651 he commanded victorious Battle of Kopyczyńce between Polish Army and combined Cossack-Tatar forced under chief Asand Demko. Later in 1651, he participated in the Battle of Beresteczko. Marcin Kalinowski died during the blockade of a Polish camp by the united Cossack-Tatar army in Batoh on June 1, 1652.
