Seweryn Daniel Gancarczyk (Polish pronunciation: ; born 22 November 1981) is a Polish former professional footballer who played as a left-back. He currently serves as an assistant coach for Górnik Łęczna.

Gancarczyk started to play football in his early teens, in junior teams of Podkarpacie Pustynia. After several seasons there and after a short spell at second Polish division club Hetman Zamość, Gancarczyk made his way to the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, where he joined local Arsenal Kyiv. Having also briefly performed for west Ukrainian club Volyn Lutsk, Gancarczyk was transferred to Metalist Kharkiv, where he has remained since, and has reached a position of vice-captain at the club.

In 2007, he was voted the best left-back in Ukraine.

During the winter of 2008 Gancarczyk had a try-out with Scottish giants Celtic FC, however due to an injury, he was unable to compete and so returned to Metalist.

In January 2018, Gancarczyk joined Rozwój Katowice. He played for the club until the summer 2019, where he joined Podlesianka Katowice.

Debuting for his country in 2006 in a 0:1 loss against Lithuania, the defender was named to the 23-men Poland's 2006 World Cup squad for the Cup finals in Germany.

On 14 October 2009, during Poland's last game of the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Slovakia, Gancarczyk scored an own goal in the 3rd minute of the game, condemning Poland to a 1–0 defeat and enabling Slovakia to qualify for the World Cup.
