Richard Sedláček (born 21 June 1999) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as midfielder for Czech First League club Jablonec.
Club career AZ Sedláček played in the Sparta Prague youth academy until 2018, where he moved to Dutch club AZ, initially joining the reserve team Jong AZ competing in the second-tier Eerste Divisie. He made his league debut for Jong AZ on 5 October 2018, replacing Tijjani Reijnders in the 73rd minute in a 2–2 home draw against Helmond Sport.
VVV-Venlo On 31 January 2022, Sedláček signed a one-and-a-half-year contract with Eerste Divisie club VVV-Venlo, joining the club alongside Jong AZ teammate Sem Dirks. He made his debut on 4 February 2022, starting in a 5–0 away win over MVV in the Eerste Divisie. Exactly one month later, on 4 March, Sedláček was forced off due to an injury after ten minutes of play in the league game against Volendam; it was later confirmed how he would miss the remainder of the 2021–22 season, as he had torn his ankle ligament.
The following season, Sedláček was mainly a starter for VVV, making 34 total appearances in which he failed to score. On 5 January 2023, he had signed a new contract with the club, keeping him in Venlo until 2025.
On 24 November 2023, Sedláček scored his first competitive goal for VVV in a 2–1 league loss to Cambuur.
On 19 August 2024, Sedláček's contract with VVV was terminated by mutual consent.
Teplice On 27 August 2024, Sedláček returned to his youth club Teplice. He initially featured for Teplice's reserve team in the third-tier Bohemian Football League before making his Czech First League debut on 21 September, coming on as a substitute for Lukáš Mareček in the 74th minute of a 3–2 defeat against Baník Ostrava. In stoppage time, he provided an assist for Teplice's second goal.
Sedláček established himself as a regular starter in early 2025 and scored his first goal for the club on 1 March in a 2–0 league victory over Pardubice. Ten days later, he scored again in the Czech Cup, helping Teplice to a 2–1 win against third-tier Hlučín.
Jablonec On 8 September 2025, Sedláček signed a contract with Jablonec.
