Felix Kadlinský (18 October 1613 in Horšovský Týn–13 November 1675 in Uherské Hradiště) was a Jesuit, Baroque author and translator into Czech.
In 1635 he joined the Jesuit Order and became a teacher of studia humaniora at the Jesuit college in Jitschin (Jičín) in East Bohemia. From 1639 he was rector for 11 years of the college in Ungarisch-Hradischt (Uherské Hradiště) in Moravia. He produced translations and paraphrases of spiritual works, especially those of the German Jesuit Friedrich Spee, which glorify an idyllic peaceful world, presumably in reaction to the horrors he experienced during the Thirty Years' War.[1][2][3]
