Bohuslav Karlík (November 25, 1908 - September 29, 1996) was a Czechoslovak flatwater canoer and slalom canoer who competed from the late 1930s to the early 1950s. Competing in two Summer Olympics, he won the silver in the C-1 1000 m event at Berlin in 1936.
Karlík won a complete set of medals at the ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships with a gold in the C-2 10000 m (1938), a silver in the C-2 1000 m (1938), and a bronze in the C-2 10000 m events (1950).
A native of Prague, Karlík teamed up with fellow canoer Jan Brzák-Felix in 1955 to paddle the 118 miles (189.9 km) of the Vltava from České Budějovice to Prague in 20 hours.
