Paweł Baraszkiewicz (born May 20, 1977 in Działdowo) is a Polish flatwater canoer who has been world champion four times in the Canadian canoe C-2 event with partner Daniel Jędraszko.
They also won a silver medal at the Sydney Olympics. However at the 2004 Athens games they disappointingly failed to win a medal. Baraszkiewicz publicly voiced his suspicion that some of their rivals were guilty of doping.
In 2005 Baraszkiewicz switched to the individual C-1 event, winning silver at the 2005 Flatwater Racing World Championships over 500m.
Baraszkiewicz is a member of the Posnania Poznań club. He is 175 cm (5'9") tall and weighs 80 kg (196 lbs).
