Teodor Jeske-Choiński (27 February 1854 – 14 April 1920) was a Polish intellectual, writer, historian and literary critic.

He was a friend, as well as an opponent, of Henryk Sienkiewicz. Whilst Sienkiewicz's novels were focused on Polish history, Jeske-Choiński’s looked at the broader European context. In 1900 he published Tiara i korona, a novel about the dispute between the Emperor Henry IV and Pope Gregory VII.

Joanna Michlic named him "one of the leading theorists and exponents of antisemitism in Poland". In 1951, the communist censors completely banned all of his books, resulting in Jeske-Choiński being largely forgotten amongst the Polish public.
