Przemysław of Racibórz (Polish: Przemysław raciborski) (between 21 October 1258 and 12 June 1268 – 7 May 1306) was a Duke of Racibórz since 1282 until his death (until 1290 with his brother as co-ruler).

Life
After his father's death in 1281 or 1282, Przemysław and his brother
In 1290 was made the formal division of the Duchy of Racibórz. Przemysław retained the main city of Racibórz and Mieszko I obtained Cieszyn and Oświęcim. A year later, the Duke of Racibórz, together with his brothers Mieszko I and Bolko I paid homage to the King Wenceslaus II of Bohemia (the other brother, Casimir was a vassal of Bohemia since 1289). It is unknown whether Przemysław was also considered to be a vassal, but this is very likely.
In the internal politics, Przemysław made two important events in his lands: in 1299 he granted urban privileges to the city of Racibórz and founded a Dominican monastery there.
Przemysław died on 7 May 1306 and was buried in the Dominican monastery in Racibórz.[2]

Between 1289 and 1291 Przemysław married with
- Leszek (b. ca. 1292 – d. 1336).
- Anna (b. 1292/98 – d. 1 January/21 August 1340), married in 1318 with Duke Nicholas II of Opawa.
- Euphemia (b. 1299/1301 – d. 17 January 1359).
Is also believed that Constance, who ruled in Wodzisław Śląski until her death in 1351 was also her daughter.
Leszek, as the only son, inherited the whole duchy, except Wodzisław Śląski, who was given to his wife Anna as her dower.
