- Eugeniusz Jagiello (Polish pronunciation: [?w'g???u? ja'g??w??]; 1873 in Warsaw – 1947 in Warsaw) was a Polish socialist politician, a member of the Polish Socialist Party - Left, elected deputy to the Fourth Duma from the city of Warsaw.
- The elections to the Warsaw electoral college had been won by Jewish parties, whom mustered 46 electoral votes whilst the non-Jewish bloc gathered 34.
- However the Jewish bloc decided to elect a Polish Duma member, in an attempt not to inflame anti-semitic feelings towards the Jewish community.
- Initially the Jewish bloc had approached Kucharzewski, but he declined the nomination.
- Thus the Jewish bloc had turned to Jagiello, electing him as the deputy from Warsaw.Once in the Duma, the Bolsheviks strongly objected to his admission to the Social-Democratic group because he was elected with the support of the bourgeoisie and the electoral bloc consisting of the Polish Socialist Party - Left and the Jewish Bund.
- Under the pressure of Bolshevik deputies his rights in the group were restricted: on all internal Party matters he had voice but no vote.
