HC Stülcken & Sohn (also known as Stülcken-Werft) was a German shipbuilding company located in Hamburg.

During World War I the company built one single U-boat for the Kaiserliche Marine, the U-157, which under command of the famous Max Valentiner undertook the longest cruise in the war from November 27, 1917 to April 15, 1918, a total of 139 days. During World War II the company built 24 VIIC U-boats for the Kriegsmarine.

After the war the company constructed several vessels for the Bundesmarine. In the 1950s the company developed the socalled Stülcken derrick, a lifting device for very heavy cargo.

In 1966 the company was absorbed by Blohm + Voss.
