Conrad Schick (1822–1901) was a German architect, archaeologist and Protestant missionary who settled in Jerusalem in the mid-nineteenth century.[1] For many decades, he was head of the "House of Industry" at the Christ Church, which was the institute for vocational training of the London Society for Promoting Christianity Amongst the Jews.[1]

In 1869 he was appointed as a Hofbaumeister by Charles I of Württemberg for his work in Jerusalem.[2]
