The '''House of Sanguszko'''{{efn|{{langx|lt|Sanguškos}}, {{langx|be|Сангушка}}, {{langx|uk|Санґушко}}}} is a Polish and Lithuanian noble and aristocratic family of [[Grand Duchy of Lithuania|Lithuanian]] and [[Ruthenia|Ruthenian]] origin, connected to the [[Gediminid dynasty]]. Like other [[prince]]ly houses of [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth]], its origins are considered murky. Present historical opinion holds in favour of their descent from [[Algirdas]]' grandson Alexander (''fl.'' 1433–1443), lord of [[Kovel]] and [[Liuboml]], whose name can be shortened to ''Sangush''. The family supposedly descends from two lines, associated with two of his sons, Alexander and Michael.

The senior line, called the ''Sanguszko-Koszyrski'', has been extinct since the death of [[Adam Aleksander Sanguszko]] in 1653. The junior line, or the ''Sanguszko-Kowelski'', of [[Szymon Samuel Sanguszko]], subsequently assumed the title ''Sanguszko-Lubartowicz'', according to the erroneous assumption of their descent from Algirdas' younger brother [[Liubartas]].

Prince [[Paweł Karol Sanguszko-Lubartowicz]] (1682–1752), a Court and [[Grand Marshal of Lithuania]], greatly expanded his holdings through his second marriage with [[Marianna Lubomirska]], heiress of [[Ostroh]]. His chief residence at [[Iziaslav, Ukraine|Iziaslav]] (now in [[Ukraine]]) was embellished with a famous collection of [[Persian carpet]]s, known as Sanguszko carpets. Hieronymous Sanguszko (1743–1812) founded the Volhynia stud, establishing the family as breeders of [[Arabian horse]]s.

After the [[partitions of Poland]], [[Eustachy Erazm Sanguszko]] fought in the [[Kościuszko Uprising]] and [[Napoleon]]'s [[Napoleon's invasion of Russia|Russian campaign]]. His son, Prince [[Roman Sanguszko]], was a Polish officer who participated in the [[November Uprising]], and was exiled to [[Siberia]]. His life is the subject of "Prince Roman" (1910) one of [[Joseph Conrad]]'s short stories. With the incorporation of [[Galicia (Central Europe)|Galicia]] into [[Soviet Ukraine]] after [[World War II]], the Sanguszkos lost their Gumniska and [[Slavuta|Sławuta]] estates, as well as their palace in [[Lviv]], and emigrated to [[Brazil]].

By the late 20th century, the family was represented by a single descendant, Prince Paul (born 1973), who resides in [[São Paulo]]. His mother came from the [[Polignac family|Polignac]] lineage. In 2010 Olympia Sanguszko was born to Prince Paul and his wife.
