Lucie Grolichová is a Czech modern pentathlete. She is a six-time medalist at the World Championships.
Grolichova qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where she competed as a lone female athlete in women's modern pentathlon. During the competition, Grolichova made a strong performance in the early rounds, with fair scores in pistol shooting and freestyle swimming, and a third-place finish in a one-touch épée fencing.

In 2009, Grolichova made her breakthrough season in the international scene, when she won two gold medals for the relay event, along with her teammates Natálie Dianová and Sylvie Cerna, at the European Championships in Leipzig, Germany, and consequently, at the World Championships in London, England.
