Edward Grzymała (born September 29, 1906 in Kołodziąż, died August 10, 1942 in Dachau) – Polish Catholic priest, martyr, blessed of the Catholic Church. In the autumn of 1926, he entered the Włocławek Higher Theological Seminary, and on June 14, 1931, he was ordained a priest. In the same year, he went to Rome to study at the Faculty of Canon Law. In 1935, after completing his studies, he returned to Poland, where he was a vicar in Lipno, Konin, and Kalisz. He collaborated with the Paulists on a new translation of the Holy Scriptures. In 1938, he returned to Włocławek. At the beginning of World War II, at the bishop's request, he moved to Aleksandrów Kujawski, where he lived with the Sisters of the Servants of Pleszew. At that time, Bishop Karol Radoński appointed Fr. Edward Grzymała, vicar general of the Włocławek diocese. On August 26, 1940, he was arrested by the Gestapo. He was taken to the German concentration camp Sachsenhausen (KL), and then to the Dachau camp. On August 10, 1942, he was assigned to a transport of invalids and sent to the gas chamber.

Beatified by John Paul II on June 13, 1999, in a group of 108 blessed martyrs.
