Alois Kříž (26 February 1911 – 26 March 1947) was a Czech journalist and Nazi collaborator. He was accused of collaboration and hanged in March 1947.
Alois Kříž was born in Ottensen in the German Empire (today a district of Hamburg) to Czech parents. After his father was conscripted into the Austro-Hungarian Army at the outbreak of World War I, Alois and his mother moved to Ledvice in Bohemia, where he completed primary school. Kříž then studied at a secondary school in Duchcov, and in 1929 he started studying law at Charles University in Prague; however, he never graduated.
In the aftermath of Nazi Germany's occupation of Czechoslovakia and the establishment of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia in March 1939, Kříž embraced Nazism and started working as a journalist for the German occupiers. He was also a member of the fascist movement Vlajka, and a writer of antisemitic and pro-Nazi propaganda literature. In 1944, Kříž was made editor-in-chief of Czech radio by the occupying authorities.
