Alfred Urbański (13 January 1899 – 10 September 1983) was a Polish politician, a member of the Polish Socialist Party (PPS), primarily known for his political activities within the Polish Government in Exile.
Urbański, an economist, was from 1969 to 1972 a member of the Council of Three (Rada Trzech) – a collective head of state in opposition to the president in exile, August Zaleski.[1][2]
After Zaleski's death, the Council of Three recognized and supported his successor, President Stanisław Ostrowski. Ostrowski named Urbański to be his 42nd prime minister, a post he held from 18 July 1972 to 15 July 1976.
Urbański had a noble heritage (szlachta).
