Adam Matusiewicz (born 28 January 1973 in Katowice) is a Polish politician. Matusiewicz served as the fifth Marshal of Silesian Voivodeship from 2010 to 2013.
Born and raised in Katowice, Matusiewicz studied accounting specialization at the University of Economics in Katowice. Between 1996 and 2000, Matusiewicz worked as a manager for the Silesian Union of Municipalities and Districts. While working as a member of the organization, Matusiewicz dismissed the politics of the Silesian Autonomy Movement, saying that ideas of Silesian autonomy were a minority opinion and "exist[ed] more in the mass media" than in reality. After this period, Matusiewicz worked as the town treasurer of Pszczyna from 2000 to 2007. In December 2007, Matusiewicz was appointed as the vice-voivode of the province, where he assisted the central government's activities in health care, the Ministry of Treasury's provincial assets, national road inspection, and education board supervision.
In the 2010 local elections, Matusiewicz was elected as a member of Civic Platform to the Silesian Regional Assembly, representing the Katowice district. Matusiewicz sat as a member of the assembly's Rules Commission, and the International Cooperation and European Integration Commission.
Shortly after his election, Matusiewicz was chosen as the next Marshal of Silesia by the Civic Platform, Polish People's Party and Silesian Autonomy Movement parliamentary coalition. Upon his inauguration as the province's head of government, Matusiewicz declared his executive board would strongly prioritize ongoing provincial investments, including the expansion of Katowice International Airport, the construction of the Silesian Museum, upgrading voivodeship roads, cooperation with other provincial governments regarding regional transport, and the responsible appropriation of European Union funds. Under Matusiewicz's marshalship, economic ties with China were expanded.
