William Joseph "B.J." Blazkowicz (Polish pronunciation: [blasˈkɔvit͡ʂ]) is a fictional character and the protagonist of the Wolfenstein series of alternate history video games starting with 1992's Wolfenstein 3D. An American spy of Polish and Jewish descent, he specializes in one-man missions behind enemy lines. In addition to fighting the regular German army he also frequently encounters bizarre Nazi experiments concerning biomechanical technology and the occult.

He was created by John Carmack and designed by Tom Hall for Wolfenstein 3D, described as a large, muscular man with dark-brown hair, blue eyes, and a strong jaw. He also appeared in other Wolfenstein games, such as Wolfenstein: The New Order, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and was added to the 2017 video game Quake Champions. His ethnicity has been discussed by critics and designers, with John Carmack and Tom Hall concurring that he is Jewish.
