Aleksander Józef Skrzyński (Polish pronunciation: [alɛˈksandɛr ˈskʂɨɲskʲi]; 19 March 1882 - 25 September 1931) was a Polish politician, from Zagórzany, Gorlice, Galicia, who served as the country's prime minister from 1925 to 1926.
He was the first Polish Ambassador to Romania (accredited in 1919), and played a significant part in the negotiations that led to the Polish-Romanian Alliance. Later, he served as Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland for two terms, from 1922 to 1923, and from 1924 to 1926.
Shortly after leaving office, he engaged in a duel with Stanisław Szeptycki, in which Skrzynski refused to fire. He was killed in a car accident at Łąkociny, Poland. [2]
