Theodor Rogalski (1921–2004) was a notable Polish composer and music educator, primarily associated with the contemporary classical genre. Born in Warsaw, he studied at the State Music School in Łódź, further honing his craft under prominent figures like Nadia Boulanger in Paris.

Among his notable compositions are orchestral works, chamber music, and choral pieces, with "Concerto for Orchestra" and "Three Pieces for String Orchestra" being particularly recognized. His music often reflects a deep understanding of both Polish folk traditions and Western classical influences. Rogalski's impact on music extends beyond his compositions; he was a dedicated educator who influenced generations of musicians through his teaching at various institutions, including the Academy of Music in Gdańsk. His contributions helped to elevate Polish contemporary music on the international stage, making him a significant figure in the 20th-century Polish music scene. Although not as widely known as some of his contemporaries, Rogalski's work has left a lasting legacy in the realm of classical music.
