Ewa Lipska (born 8 October 1945 in Kraków), is a Polish poet from the Polish New Wave generation. Collections of her poetry have been translated into English, French, Italian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, German and Hungarian. She lives in Vienna and Kraków.

The Adam Mickiewicz Institute comments: "While her verse may have some connections with politics, it always documents concrete personal experiences without reaching for grand generalizations. As it unmasks the language of propaganda, her poetry also indicates the weaknesses of language in general as an instrument of human perception and communication."[1]
