Adolf Kajpr SJ (5 July 1902, Hredle – 17 September 1959, Leopoldov) was a Czech Catholic priest, Jesuit and publisher of Catholic printed matter.
As an ardent preacher, confessor, spiritual leader and journalist, he commented not only on fundamental topics of the Catholic faith but also on current social and political issues.
For his opinions he was imprisoned by the Nazis (1941–1945) and the communists (1950–1959).
After nine years in the communist prison, he died at the age of 57 “with a reputation of holiness and martyrdom”.
