Karolina Kózka (2 August 1898 – 18 November 1914) was a Polish Roman Catholic. Her childhood was spent on her farm where she was known for her strong faith and her willingness to catechize to neighbors and children alike; she recited rosaries and was an ardent devotee to the Mother of God which became more and more evident over time for she even recited rosaries when she should have been fast asleep. Kózka is often referred to as the "Polish Maria Goretti" due to the manner of her death.
