Herbert Krolikowski (born Oels/Schlesien 15 March 1924 in ; died Berlin 28 November 2012) was an East German diplomat and politician.
At various stages he was a government minister and his country's ambassador to Czechoslovakia.
Because of the way power in the German Democratic Republic was concentrated on the ruling Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED / Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands), Herbert Krolikowski's most important appointment almost certainly came in 1976 when he became one of the 145 members of the Central Committee of the SED (party).
