Igor Zygmunt Tuleya (born 24 August 1970) is a Polish lawyer, judge at the district court of Warsaw and former spokesperson for this court.[1] He is known for his criticism on government prosecutorial practices and his protests against judicial reforms, which he sees as a threat to the independence of the Polish judiciary.

On 18 October 2020 Tuleya was stripped of his immunity by the Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Court of Poland and suspended. The public prosecutor is charging Tuleya for a criminal breach of the secrecy of the investigation. The alleged breach happened when Tuleya allowed the press to hear the justification of one of the verdicts he gave in court.
