Rizki Amelia Pradipta (born 1 September 1990) is an Indonesian badminton player who specializes in doubles. Pradipta is from Jaya Raya, one of the biggest badminton clubs from Indonesia that has produced many world class badminton players such as Susi Susanti, Alan Budikusuma, Markis Kido, Hendra Setiawan, and Pradipta's current partner Pia Zebadiah.
Her career started when she was selected as a member of Indonesia national badminton team that competed in 2008 BWF World Junior Championships in Pune, India as a Women's Singles. Coming as unseeded player, she performed quite well and beat Chan Tsz Ka from Hong Kong who was seeded 9/16 in the third round 21-23, 21-15, 21-12. In that tournament, Pradipta reached the fourth round only to be beaten by Porntip Buranaprasertsuk form Thailand 13-21, 21-16, 4-21.
In 2009, After such a good performance in Pune, Pradipta was chosen by PBSI to be promoted to joint the national team in Cipayung as a singles player. But in early 2010, due to lack of results that she had achieved, she was finally relegated by PBSI and had to return to her club.
After facing the agony of being relegated from the national team, Pradipta went back to her club Jaya Raya and tried to continue her career as an independent player. She then changed to play in doubles disciplines and in 2011 started her partnership with Pia Zebadiah who was just recently resigned from national team. In 2012 as a new pair, they won their first tournament in Vietnam International beating Malaysian pair Amelia Alicia Anscelly and Soong Fie Cho 21-10, 21-15.
