Branisłaŭ Taraškievič (Belarusian: Бранісла́ў Тарашке́віч; January 20, 1892 — November 29, 1938) was Belarusian public figure and politician, linguist.
Taraškievič was a member of the underground Communist Party of West Belarus (Камуністычная партыя Заходняй Беларусі, КПЗБ) in Poland and was imprisoned for many years in Poland.
In 1933 he was released due to Polish-Soviet prisoner release in exchange of Francišak Alachnovič, a Belarusian journalist and playwright imprisoned in GULAG, and lived in Soviet exile since then.
He fell victim to the Great Purge of the late 1930s.
