'''Téodor de Wyzewa''', born as '''Teodor Wyżewski''' (12 September 1862 – 15 April 1917), was a writer, critic, and translator of Polish descent, born in Kałusik in the Russian sector of Poland near Kamieniec Podolski (Кам'янець-Подільський, Ukraine), who emigrated to France in 1869. He was a leading exponent of [[Poland|Polish]] origin of the [[Symbolism (arts)|Symbolist]] movement in [[France]].

With [[Édouard Dujardin]] he created ''[[La Revue wagnérienne]]'' in 1885. In 1901, he founded the Société Mozart with [[Adolphe Boschot]] and [[Georges de Saint-Foix]]. He frequently contributed articles on European literature and music to the ''[[Revue des deux mondes]]'' and ''[[Le Temps (Paris)|Le Temps]]'', among many other periodicals. His translation of [[Jacobus de Voragine]]'s ''[[Golden Legend]]'' into modern French made it available to a wide audience once more.

Wyzewa made his name with brilliant analyses of poems by [[Stéphane Mallarmé]]. In ''[[La Revue wagnérienne]]'' he put forward the idea of [[Wagnerian Art]] which heralded [[Symbolism (arts)|symbolism]]. He is also famous for his idea of the "work of art of the future", which, according to him, should have been a novel describing only the inner life of its author during a period no longer than a day. The idea, transferred by example of the novel ''[[Les lauriers sont coupés]]'' by Wyzewa's friend [[Édouard Dujardin]], was fully realized by [[James Joyce]] in ''[[Ulysses (novel)|Ulysses]]''. Wyzewa was critical of Dujardin's novel though.

He was married to [[Marguerite Terlinden]], the daughter of Belgian painter [[Félix Terlinden]] and the sister-in-law of the art critic and historian [[Pierre Francastel]].
In Ninove (Belgium) there is a field chapel (Ruysbroeck kapel / Ruybroeck kapel) in remembrance of Theodor the Wyzewa's wife, Margareta Ter Linden (1873–1901) and her grand-parents Albrecht Ter Linden (1793–1851) and his wife Isabella Govaert (1801–1875).
