Langrickenbach is a municipality in the district of Kreuzlingen in the canton of Thurgau in Switzerland.
Langrickenbach is first mentioned in 889 as Rihchinbahc. Together with Greuter, it was acquired by the Lords of Helmsdorf in 1351. Between 1521 and 1798 it belonged to the cathedral of Konstanz. Any low court verdict in Langrickenbach was automatically appealed to the high court at Konstanz. Most of the settlement of Belzstadel belonged to Münsterlingen until 1798. A village church was first mentioned around 900. Since the Protestant Reformation in 1529 the Catholics attend the church in Altnau. The current municipality was formed in 1998 when Herrenhof, Langrickenbach, Schönenbaumgarten and Zuben merged into Langrickenbach.
