Ścibor z Gościeńczyc (literally: Ścibor of Gościeńczyce; died 4 May 1471) was a Polish Roman Catholic priest and the bishop of Płock since 1463.

He was son Jan, stolnik of Czersk.^[1] His older brothers were Andrzej z Gościeńczyc, a cupbearer of Ciechanów, and Jakub z Gościeńczyc i Mińska, a castellan of Czersk.^[2]

In 1435 he became a student of the Kraków Academy (now Jagiellonian University), but there is no information that he finished study.^[1]

After the death of Paweł Giżycki, a bishop of Płock, Ścibor was elected his successor.^[1] It was against the will of Kazimierz IV Jagiellończyk, King of Poland, who supported Jakub of Sienno.^[1] As a bishop Ścibor supported the policy of princes of Mazovia.^[3]

Ścibor z Gościeńczyc died on 4 May 1471.^[3]
