Tadeusz Jerzy Gebethner (18 November 1897 – 14 October 1944) was a Polish soldier, insurgent, bookseller, and footballer. From 1914 to 1925 he was an active player and captain of the Polonia Warsaw team; later he worked in his family bookstore and publishing business (Gebethner i Wolff). Tadeusz Gebethner fought in the Polish–Soviet War and Polish September Campaign. Becoming an officer of the Home Army after the invasion, from 1942 he sheltered a Jewish family in his home in Warsaw during the German occupation. A participant of the Warsaw Uprising, he was critically wounded and taken prisoner to Stalag-XIA, where he died from the same injuries on 14 October 1944. For his wartime activities, he was recognised as one of the Polish Righteous Among the Nations in 1981.
