Stephen Stanislaus Woznicki (August 17, 1894 – December 10, 1968) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Saginaw from 1950 to 1968.
Woznicki was born in Miners Mills, Pennsylvania, near Wilkes-Barre, to Stephen and Michalina (née Jablonski) Woznicki. He began his studies for the priesthood at SS. Cyril and Methodius Seminary in Orchard Lake, Michigan. He completed his studies at St. Paul Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota.
On December 22, 1917, Woznicki was ordained a priest at the Cathedral of St. Paul. His first assignment was in his native Pennsylvania, as a curate at St. Joseph Church in Danville. From 1919 to 1937, he served as secretary to Bishop Michael Gallagher of Detroit. He was named a domestic prelate in 1926, and became pastor of St. Hyacinth Church, a Polish parish in Detroit, in December 1936. At St. Hyacinth, he appealed to parishioners to not to Anglicize their family name and to not to flee to the suburbs.
