Piotr Długosielski (born April 4, 1977 in Warsaw ) is a former Polish sprinter who specialized in the 400-meter run and made an international appearance primarily as a relay runner .

At the World Indoor Championships in Maebashi in 1999 , he reached the semi-finals over 400 meters.

Długosielski himself was only used in the preliminary round.

At the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney he was sixth with the season. At the 2001 World Championships in Edmonton , he finished fourth in the 4 x 400 meter relay together with Rafał Wieruszewski , Piotr Haczek and Piotr Rysiukiewicz . The originally victorious US relay, however, was subsequently disqualified , as it had been two years earlier, because of a doping offense by its runner Antonio Pettigrew . The Polish team therefore later advanced to the bronze rank. In the 400-meter run Długosielski reached the semi-finals in Edmonton.

In 2004 he became Polish champion over 400 meters in the hall.
