Count Roman Potocki (16 December 1852 – 24 September 1915) was a Polish nobleman (szlachcic) and politician.
Early life
Count Roman was born on 16 December 1852 at Łańcut in the Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria, in what was then a part of the Austrian Empire. He was a son of Count Alfred Józef Potocki, Minister-President of Austria, and Princess Maria Klementyna Sanguszko. His brother, Count Józef Mikołaj Potocki, married his second wife's younger sister, Princess Helena Augusta Radziwiłł.
On 16 June 1885, he married Princess Elżbieta Matylda Radziwiłł (1861–1950) in Berlin. She was a daughter of Prince Antoni Wilhelm Radziwiłł and Marie de Castellane (the daughter of French aristocrats Henri de Castellane and Pauline de Talleyrand-Périgord). Before their divorce, they had two children:
- Count Alfred Antoni Potocki (1886–1958), who married Izadora Narkiewicz-Jodko, a daughter of Zygmunt Narkiewicz-Jodko and Stanislawa Jordan-Walawska in 1956.
- Count Jerzy Józef Potocki (1889–1961), the Polish ambassador to the United States from 1936 to 1940 who married Susanita Yturregui in 1931.
Count Potocki died in Łańcut on 24 September 1915, in what by then had become Austria-Hungary.
