Ladislav Quis (7 February 1846 in Čáslav – 1 September 1913 in Černošice) was a Czech writer, poet, lawyer, journalist, translator and critic; associated with the literary group, Ruchovci.

His education began at a grammar school in Prague, then continued at the gymnasium in Tábor, during the time its Director was the well known Czech patriot, Václav Křížek [cs].

In 1872, he began work as an editor at the magazine, Slovan, replacing Karel Sabina, who went into hiding, under suspicion of being a police informant.

He established a good reputation there, and was involved in many civic projects, including a library (1902) and a new evangelical church, with an impressive tower (1905).

In 1901, he was elected an "extraordinary member" of the Česká akademie věd a umění [cs] (Czech Academy of Sciences and Arts).
