Adolf Antoni Homan (1850-1941) was a Polish organ builder who was active at the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century in Warsaw.
Initially, he worked independently, and from 1924 he collaborated with Stanisław Jezierski, a former employee. In organ construction, Homan represented the Romantic style, like most Polish organ builders of that period, despite the increasingly prominent Baroque trends in Europe known as the Orgelbewegung. Some of the most well-known organs by Homan's company include instruments in the Archcathedral in Lublin (1935), the Cathedral in Sandomierz (1929), the Church of the Resurrection of the Lord in Warsaw (circa 1920), and the Church of St. Joseph in Kraków-Podgórze (1922). Homan's activities contributed to the destruction of several old, often very valuable instruments, such as in Sandomierz, where the 17th-century organs by Andrzej Nitrowski were removed. The history of Homan's company ended around 1938 when it was bought by Wacław Biernacki.
