Maria Antonina Boniecka (19 June 1910 – 19 June 1978) was a Polish author and teacher, who also served in the Polish Home Army during the Second World War. She received several awards, including the Silver Cross of Merit, the Home Army Cross, the Szczecin Literary Award, and a Gold Award from the Towarzystwo Wiedzy Powszechnej (Society for Universal Knowledge). Opposed to Communism, she was persecuted by the Polish government of the time; among other things, she lost her position as editor of the periodical Ziemia i Morze and was taken to court over an article published therein. She emigrated to Australia in 1965, where she wrote her memoir, Ucieczka za Druty.
