Krasiński (plural: Krasińscy) is the surname of a Polish noble-aristocratic family. Because Polish adjectives have different forms for the genders, Krasińska is the form for a female family member.

The Krasiński family had a number of soldiers, politicians (including voivodes of Poland and other members of the senate of Poland) and bishops. The family's most famous member is the 19th-century poet Zygmunt Krasiński.

The name of the family comes from the Krasne village in Masovia.

The family dates to the 14th century; its members have been active in Masovia, Lithuania and Halychyna.

Wratislaw Corvin (fl.) in 1224, and the family's patriline traces to Slawek Corvin, (fl. 1412–1427), who became hereditary lord of Krasne and founded the village of Wold Krasińska in 1460.[1] His grandson, Jan Corvin-Krasiński is the ancestor of both the Krasne-Krasiński line, which obtained the title of Imperial Count in 1560 and became extinct in the 20th century, and the cadet branch of Corvin Krasiński, founded by his son Andrea (fl. 1588) and subdivided into several lines, the eldest of which descended from Gabriel and ended with Stanislaw Corvin-Krasiński, who had four daughters, including Franciszka.[1]
