LTC (Lawn Tennis Club) Praha was a Czech ice hockey club founded in 1903 in Prague.

The main sport in this club was originally tennis, with hockey being a minor sport. This changed in 1927 when there was a quarrel among ice hockey players for Sparta Prague, and many elite players moved to LTC. The club then became one of the nation's top teams, with many players from LTC Prague on the Czechoslovak national team. The team won the Spengler Cup seven times, and twice they finished second. After the communist coup d'état in 1948, the club was banned as a symbol of Western (capitalist) professional sports.
