'''Janusz Aleksander Sanguszko''' ({{langx|lt|Jonušas Aleksandras Sanguška}}; 5 May 1712, [[Lubartów]] – 14 September 1775, [[Dubno]]) was a [[magnate]] in the [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth]]. He held the titles of [[miecznik]] and [[Court Marshal of Lithuania]].

He was not interested in politics, and spent most of his life using the fortunes previous members of the [[Sanguszko]] family gathered, spending it on his lavish lifestyle. Indebted, in 1753, he agreed to divide the ''[[ordynacja]] ostrogoska'' he inherited from his mother, [[Marianna Lubomirska]], among the members and allies of the ''[[familia (Polish political party)|familia]]''. This decision, known as the ''transakcja kolbuszowska'', was opposed by the enemy of ''familia'', [[hetman]] [[Jan Klemens Branicki]], and was finally accepted by the decision of [[Sejm]] (national parliament) in 1766. He married [[Konstancja Sanguszko]] in 1731 but separated after the wedding. He had affair with his secretary Kazimierz Chyliński.<ref>[https://apcz.umk.pl/KLIO/article/view/KLIO.2013.049 Pietrzak, J.
