Dawid Zygmunt Pilchowski (1735–1803) was a Polish clergyman, translator, and educator. He was auxiliary bishop of Vilnius from 1793 to 1803.
Pilchowski was born in 1735 in a village near Augustów.[1] He received an education with the Jesuits and then taught at the Jesuit College in Vilnius.[2][1] After the Jesuits were suppressed by the papal brief titled Dominus ac Redemptor, Pilchowski worked in printing and for the National Education Commission.[1][2] He was auxiliary bishop in 1793 until his death in 1803 in Vilnius.[2][1] As bishop, he also played a role in hospital administration.[3]
According to Leon Rogalski, Pilchowski left his entire estate to schools.[1]
