Janusz Czesław Wojciechowski (born 6 December 1954) is a Polish politician and was a long-standing Member of the European Parliament, elected from the Lodz Voivodship representing the Polish People's Party (PSL) (2004–2006), the Polish People's Party "Piast" (PSL "Piast") (2006–2010) and, lately, Law and Justice (since 2010). In 2016, he left the parliament to become a member of the Court of Auditors.[1] Since 2019 he has been the European Commissioner for Agriculture.[2]

Wojciechowski was member of United People's Party, a Member of the Bureau of the European People's Party (EPP) from 2004 to 2006 and was vice-chair of the European Parliament's Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development. Wojciechowski was dismissed from his PSL party following his decision to leave the EPP for the Union for Europe of the Nations EU parliamentary grouping. Wojciechowski was a substitute for the Committee on Budgetary Control and a member of the Delegation to the EU-Kazakhstan, EU-Kyrgyzstan and EU-Uzbekistan Parliamentary Cooperation Committees, and for relations with Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Mongolia.

He ran on the Law and Justice list in the 2009 election, despite not being a party member. In November 2010, he joined Law and Justice.
