Jozef Karika (born November 15, 1978, in Brezno) is a Slovak experimental publicist and writer. He studied history and philosophy at Matej Bel's University in Banská Bystrica. He is the author of the bestseller In the shadow of Mafia. He was awarded the Prize of Literary Fund (Cena Literárneho fondu).
As a reporter of a regional TV channel based in Ružomberok, he pointed to the case of Slovak Catholic priest Ján Ferenčík, who, despite his wartime admiration for Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler, was later celebrated by placing a commemorative plaque on the town hall in Ružomberok.
