7th Lublin Uhlan Regiment of General Kazimierz Sosnkowski (Polish language: 7 Pułk Ułanów Lubelskich im. gen. Kazimierza Sosnkowskiego, 7 puł) was a cavalry unit of the Polish Army in the Second Polish Republic and in the Polish Armed Forces in the West. Until 1939, it was garrisoned in Mińsk Mazowiecki.
