Vincent Alexander Bochdalek (1801 – February 3, 1883) was a Bohemian anatomist and pathologist. His first name has also been given as Vincenc and Vincenz.

Bochdalek was born in Litoměřice. He obtained his doctorate in 1833 in Prague, where he was later professor of anatomy for several decades. He retired in 1874, settling in Litoměřice and later dying in Prague. His son, Victor Bochdalek (1835–1868), became a prominent physician in his own right.
