Lucjan Antoni Brychczy (nicknamed Kici; born 13 June 1934) is a Polish former footballer who won four top-tier titles with Legia Warsaw.

In football, he represented Pogoń Nowy Bytom, ŁTS Łabędy Gliwice and Piast Gliwice. He transferred to Warsaw for the 1954 season due to military commitments, where he remained until the end of his playing career not just as a player, but also as a coach.[2]

He won four titles with Legia, in 1955, 1956, 1969 and 1970 as well as four Polish Cups, in 1955, 1956, 1964 and 1966. He scored 182 goals during his stint which lasted 19 seasons, both of which remain club records to this day. His Legia career also included a foray into the semi-finals of the European Cup. He was also part of Poland's squad at the 1960 Summer Olympics.[3]

It is said that Real Madrid and AC Milan were interested in securing his services but during that time it was impossible to leave the country due to the restrictions of the communist regime.

Brychczy was awarded the Officer's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta in December 2000.[4]
