Michael Patrick Bolewski (/ˈbəluːski/; 1888–1974) was a pioneering Australian international representative rugby league footballer who played in the 1900s and 1910s.[1] He, along with his three brothers, Henry, Alec and Walter, became a pioneering Queensland representative player as well.

From a Polish family,

Heritage No. 188).[6] In 1909 Bolewski started a three-season stint with the club. Also that year he played for Australia when they hosted the visiting New Zealand national rugby league team. Bolweski became the first overseas player to play 100 games for Leigh and reappeared in their A team after several seasons' break.[7]

In 2008, the centenary year of rugby league in Australia, Bolewski was named at fullback in a Bundaberg rugby league team of the century.
