Prince Kazimierz Nestor Sapieha (1757-1798) was a Polish-Lithuanian noble (szlachcic).

Kazimierz Sapieha was educated at the Knight School in Warsaw from 1767 until 1791, and served as Artillery General of Lithuania, from 1773 to 1793. As Deputy from Brzesc Litewski, he participated in the Four-Year Sejm in Warsaw, and became Sejm Marshal from October 6, 1788, until May 29, 1792, and Marshal of the Lithuanian Confederation.

An early supporter of the magnate opposition to any liberalization (his uncle Hetman Franciszek Ksawery Branicki was its leader), Sapieha changed his position under the influence of Stanislaw Malachowski, and became a supporter of reforms, and the May 3rd Constitution. He strongly protested, when King Stanislaw August Poniatowski joined the Targowica Confederation, and this so angered Sapieha, that he decided to leave Poland. After the outbreak of the Kosciuszko Uprising, he returned to his homeland and participated in the rebellion, holding the rank of an Artillery Captain. After the Uprising collapsed, he left Poland again, and spent the rest of his life in exile. He died in Vienna.
