Emil Kralicek (1877 - 1930) was a Czech architect.

Kralicek studied at Prague Industrial Arts School and in the offices of Antonin Balsanek in Prague and Joseph Maria Olbrich in Darmstadt. He began designing in Prague around 1900 in the office of Matej Blecha, and worked in the styles of classicism, Art Nouveau, Czech Cubism and Czech Rondocubism successively. Beginning as draftsman Kralicek worked himself into a position of project manager, and developed collaborations with a number of Czech sculptors like Celda Kloucek, Antonin Waigant and Karel Pavlik.

Kralicek started his own office in 1920, and committed suicide ten years afterward.

Work includes:

  • Hotel Zlata Husa, Wenceslas Square in Prague, with Matej Blecha, 1909-1910
  • Adam Pharmacy, at #8 Wenceslas Square, with Blecha, 1911-1913
  • the Diamant House in Prague, with Blecha, 1912-1913
  • Supich Building, now the Moravian Bank, Wenceslas Square, possible attribution with Blecha
