Artur Brzozowski (born March 29, 1985 in Nisko, Podkarpackie) is a Polish race walker.[1] He set a personal best time of 3:50:07 by finishing second for the 50 km race walk at the 2010 European Athletics Walking Meeting in Dudince, Slovakia.[2][3]

Brzozowski represented Poland at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where he competed for the men's 50 km race walk, along with his teammates Grzegorz Sudoł and Rafał Fedaczyński. Unfortunately, Brzozowski received a final warning (a total of three red cards) for not following the proper form during the 20 km lap, and was subsequently disqualified from the competition.[4]
