Ryszard Władysław Parulski (9 March 1938 – 10 January 2017) was a Polish fencer.[1] He won a silver medal in the team foil event at the 1964 Summer Olympics and a bronze in the same event at the 1968 Summer Olympics.[2] He also won gold medals at the 1961 World Fencing Championships[3] and 1963 World Fencing Championships.[3]

A lawyer by civil profession, Parulski served as the vice-chairman of the Polish Olympic Committee from 1990 until 1992. In 1997, he was awarded the Commander's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta.[4] In 2017, he was posthumously awarded the Commander's Cross with Star of the Order of Polonia Restituta by President of Poland Andrzej Duda for "outstanding contributions to the promotion and popularization of sport as well as his activism for the Olympic community".[5]
