Aleksander Kazimierz Sapieha (13 May 1624 – 22 May 1671)[1] was a Polish nobleman. He became bishop of Samogitia in 1660 and of Vilnius in 1667.
After the abdication of Jan Kazimierz, he initially supported the candidacy of Philip William, Elector Palatine, the son-in-law of Sigismund III Vasa, but later supported the successful election of Michał Korybut Wiśniowiecki.[2]
