Stanisław II Augustus (also Stanisław August Poniatowski; born Stanisław Antoni Poniatowski), was King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania from 1764 to 1795, and the last monarch of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth.

A great patron of the arts and sciences, he initiated some progressive reforms, but is also remembered as the king whose election was instigated by Russia. A controversial figure in Poland's history, he is criticized primarily for his failure to stand against and prevent the partitions, which led to the destruction of the Polish state.
