Stradonice (Kladno District) is a village and municipality in Kladno District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic.

The prominent 19th Century German chemist August Kekulé, himself born in Darmstadt, was descended from a family originating in Stradonice. When Kekulé was ennobled in 1895 by Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, he gained the right to add "von Stradonitz" to his name, referring to this ancestral origin. This title was also used by his son Stephan Kekulé von Stradonitz and his nephew Reinhard Kekulé von Stradonitz.
