Josef Klicka (15 December 1855, Klatovy, Kingdom of Bohemia – 28 March 1937, Klatovy) was a Czech organist, violinist, composer, conductor and pedagogue.
He produced several large organ compositions in the style of late romanticism; these have been recorded on CD. A graduate in organ-playing from the Conservatory in Prague, Klicka subsequently worked as organist and conductor and eventually became acting professor at his old school.
This was from 1892 to 1895, as deputy for Dvorák, then in the USA. Klicka's son was Václav Klicka (1882–1953), a harpist.
Václav also taught for some years at the Prague Conservatory.
