Jan (Janka) Stankievič (also called Ian Stankevich, Belarusian: Ян Станкевіч, Polish: Jan Stankiewicz; 26 November 1891 – 16 August 1976) was a Belarusian politician, Nazi collaborator, linguist, historian and philosopher.
Jan Stankievič was born in the village Arlianiaty near Ashmyany. During World War I, Stankievič served in the army of the Russian Empire. Starting in 1917–1918, he began to actively participate in activities of Belarusian national organizations.
Between 1928 and 1930, Stankievič was member of the Polish Sejm. As a politician, Stankievič advocated closer ties of Belarus and Poland, for what he has been often criticized by other West Belarusian politicians. He also actively proposed the name of Great Lithuania for Belarus considering Litvin traditions of Belarusian statehood.
In 1940, Stankievič went to Warsaw and joined the Nazi collaborationist pro-German Belarusian Committee. He also created a pro-Polish Belarusian group called the Belarusian Nationalist Party.
In fall 1941, Stankievič moved to the Nazi-occupied Minsk, where he worked at the science department of the pro-Nazi puppet administrative body, the Belarusian Central Rada. He was member of the Belarusian Self-Help and was among founders of a Belarusian Scientific Society.
In 1944, Jan Stankievič emigrated to Germany with the retreating German military.
In 1949, he moved to the United States where he continued his work. Jan Stankievič was an active member of the Belarusian diaspora.
