Count Józef Kajetan Ossoliński (1758–1834) was a notable Polish szlachcic (nobleman) with a distinguished political career. He served as the Castellan of the Podlaskie Voivodeship from 1790 and was a Senator Castellan of the Kingdom of Poland from 1822 to 1824. Additionally, he held the position of Starost of Sandomierz starting in 1781. Ossoliński was active in politics throughout his life, participating as a representative from the Drohiczyn region in various parliamentary sessions, including the Four-Year Sejm and the Targowica Confederation.

Ossoliński was born into a prominent family; his father, Aleksander Maciej Ossoliński, was a notable court official. Over his lifetime, he was married three times and had several children, including a daughter and a son who continued the family legacy.

He also gained recognition as a collector of art, creating a gallery in his palace in Warsaw, which housed works acquired from King Stanisław August Poniatowski.
