Piotr Kiszka (died in 1534) was a noble of the House of Kiszka from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. According to the military census of 1528, he was the 10th wealthiest magnate in the Grand Duchy. [1] In case of war he had to provide 224 fully equipped cavalrymen to the army. That meant that he had more than 23,000 peasants in his dominions. [2]

He was the only son of Stanisław Kiszka who was active in Volhynia. From his father he inherited the title of starosta of Drohiczyn. [2] Piotr was Voivode of Polotsk from 1521 to 1532. After the death of his brother-in-law Stanislovas Kęsgaila in 1532, [3] he was elected as Elder of Samogitia and castellan of Trakai. [2]

Piotr had three sons: Piotr Kiszka, who followed grandfather's footsteps and became Marshal of Volhynia, Stanisław Kiszka who was Voivode of Vitebsk, and Mikołaj Kiszka who was Voivode of Podlaskie. [2]
