Jan Mikulicz-Radecki, (Gozdawa coat of arms); (In German- Johann(es) Freiherr von Mikulicz-Radecki), born May 16, 1850, Czernowitz (Chernivtsi), Austrian region of Bukovina - died June 4, 1905, Breslau (Wrocław)) was a Polish surgeon. He was a director of surgery at the Universities of Krakau (Kraków), Königsberg (Kaliningrad) and Breslau (Wrocław).

Mikulicz-Radecki's innovations in operative technique for a wide variety of diseases helped develop modern surgery. He contributed prodigiously to cancer surgery, especially on organs of the digestive system. He was first to suture a perforated gastric ulcer (1885), surgically restore part of the oesophagus (1886), remove a malignant part of the colon (1903), and describe what is now known as Mikulicz’ disease.

In 1881 he developed improved models of the oesophagoscope and gastroscope. As an ardent advocate of antiseptics he did much to popularize Joseph Lister's antiseptic methods. He used a gauze mask and was one of the first to use gloves during surgery.
