Ścibor z Gościeńczyc was a Polish Roman Catholic priest and the bishop of Płock since 1463.
He was son Jan, stolnik of Czersk. His older brothers were Andrzej z Gościeńczyc, a cześnik of Ciechanów, and Jakub z Gościeńczyc i Mińska, a castellan of Czersk.
In 1435 he became a student of the Kraków Academy, but there is no information that he finished study.
