Wojciech Kowalczyk (born 14 April 1972) is a retired Polish footballer who played as a striker.

The bulk of his professional career was spent with hometown's Legia Warsaw and in Spain. Early into his international career, he helped the Polish national team win the silver medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics.

Born in Warsaw, Kowalczyk played his youth football with local Olimpia and Polonez, joining city giants Legia Warsaw in 1990, aged 18. Almost from the very beginning, he was an automatic first-choice; in his weakest season, his first, he only appeared in 11 Ekstraklasa games, but was crucial in helping oust U.C. Sampdoria in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, netting twice in Genoa for the 2–2 draw (3–2 win on aggregate) and qualification for the semifinals.

After having started 1994–95 with Legia (five matches, three goals, another league title), Kowalczyk moved abroad and signed with La Liga side Real Betis, but was never able to reproduce his previous form; he finished his five-year spell in the country with UD Las Palmas, in the second division, where he also appeared sparingly.
