Śmigiel () is a town in Kościan County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland, with 5,536 inhabitants (2010).
==History== thumb|left|Guild document from Śmigiel from 1644 Śmigiel was granted town rights in 1415 or perhaps earlier. It was a private town of Polish nobility, administratively located in the Kościan County in the Poznań Voivodeship in the Greater Poland Province. It was annexed by Prussia in the Second Partition of Poland in 1793. After the successful Greater Poland uprising of 1806, it was regained by Poles and included within the short-lived Duchy of Warsaw. It was re-annexed by Prussia in 1815, and included within Germany in 1871. While part of Prussia and Germany, the town was administered within Kreis Schmiegel in the Grand Duchy of Posen/Province of Posen. As Poland regained independence following World War I in 1918, the town was reintegrated with Poland, and local Poles joined the Greater Poland Uprising (1918–19), which aim was to reintegrate the entire region of Greater Poland with the reborn state. Among the insurgents were future mayors Władysław Pioch and Maksymilian Stachowiak. Władysław Pioch co-organized the local Polish administration.
