Ladislav Brožek (born 1952) is a Slovak astronomer. At the Bohemian Kleť Observatory, he discovered a total of 23 minor planets between 1979 and 1982, as credited by the Minor Planet Center.

One of his discoveries, the main-belt asteroid 2613 Plzeň, he named after his birthplace Plzeň (Pilsen). In 1981, he discovered 3102 Krok, a near-Earth object of the Apollo group. He also named another of his discoveries, 3834 Zappafrank, in memory of rock musician and composer Frank Zappa (1940–1993).
