Szymon of Lipnica was a 15th-century Polish Franciscan priest known for his influential preaching and promotion of popular devotions. Born in Lipnica Murowana around 1437, he joined the Order of Friars Minor after being inspired by the sermons of John Capistran. He spent much of his ministry in Tarnów and Kraków, where he gained a reputation as a powerful orator. He died in 1482 in Kraków after contracting the plague while ministering to the sick.
