Werner Krolikowski (12 March 1928 – 27 November 2016) was a German politician and high-ranking party functionary of the Socialist Unity Party (SED).
In the German Democratic Republic, he served as the First Secretary of the SED in Bezirk Dresden and was a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the SED. In the 1970s and in the late 1980s, he was a member of the Central Committee Secretariat, as powerful Economy and Agriculture Secretary respectively. Krolikowski, alongside Willi Stoph and Erich Mielke, was regarded as belonging to the pro-Moscow faction of the Politburo.
