Roman Stanisław Jakub Kozłowski (1 February 1889 – 2 May 1977) was a Polish palaeontologist, best known for his important work on graptolites.

Kozłowski was born in Włocławek, a town north-west of Warsaw, on 1 February 1889. He studied at universities in Switzerland and Paris, finishing his studies at the Sorbonne in 1910. After working at the Museum of Natural History in Paris, he moved to Bolivia where he served as professor and director of the National School of Mines.

Kozłowski became a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences, the first director of the Academy's Institute of Paleobiology, and founder of Acta Palaeontologica Polonica. He received many honors for his work, including the Mary Clark Thompson Medal in 1958 and the Wollaston Medal in 1961. A special type of graptolite, called the Kozlowskitubus, was named in his honor.
