Špalkův obchodní dům (English: 'Špalek Department Store') is a modernist commercial building with apartments in Hradec Králové, Czech Republic. It was built at the beginning of the 20th century by architect Vladimír Fultner for the textile merchant Václav J. Špalek on the square Velké náměstí. Although the building has been referred to as a department store since its inception, it has always been primarily a residential building, with only its ground and second floors serving for commercial purposes. This is typical for Hradec Králové, where civic amenities were located on the ground floors of residential buildings due to the city's former military fortification status until 1893. Multi-story exclusively commercial buildings, such as Breda Department Store in Opava, did not emerge until the 1970s in Hradec Králové.
