Wacław Król (1915–1991) was a Polish military pilot and an air colonel of the Polish Air Force.
A veteran of the Polish Air Forces in France and Great Britain during World War II, he served with distinction alongside the Royal Air Force and rose to the rank of wing commander.
Wacław Król graduated from the Polish Air Force Academy of Dęblin in 1935 and joined the Polish Air Forces.
Upon his return to Europe in October 1943 he rejoined the 302 Polish Fighter Sqn as its commanding officer, eventually rising to the rank of CO of the entire 3rd Polish Fighter Wing (10 March 1945) and the No. 1 Polish Wing (July 1945).
Altogether during the war Wacław Król flew 286 missions, is credited with 8.5 or 9 confirmed shootdowns of enemy planes with 3 additional probable kills.
After the war he returned to communist-controlled Poland and took a series of menial jobs.

Retired, he became a successful author of over 30 books documenting the history of Polish World War II air units.
A deputy commander of the Polish 121st Fighter Escadrille, he scored his first aerial victory on the very first day of World War II (a Henschel Hs 126, shared with Corporal Paweł Kowala).
During the Nazi and Soviet invasion of Poland, he downed one additional Heinkel He 111 bomber.
After September 17 he escaped with his unit to Romania.
Interned there, he managed to escape and reach France, where he re-joined the Polish Air Forces.
Temporarily attached to the French Groupe de Chasse II/7, he took part in the Battle of France.
During the German invasion of that country he shot down two enemy bombers (Heinkel He 111 and Dornier Do 17) and a probable kill of another Do 17.
Evacuated to North Africa and then to Great Britain, he joined the Polish units stationed there and took part in the Battle of Britain as member of the No. 302 Polish Fighter Squadron.
During the battle, he shot down one Messerschmitt Bf 109 over London and one Junkers Ju 88 (shared with two other pilots).
