Ulrika is a locality situated in Linköping Municipality, Östergötland County, Sweden with 200 inhabitants in 2010. It is situated about 40 kilometers south-southwest of Linköping. Ulrika church, from which the village has its name, was built in 1737 and was named after Queen Ulrika Eleonora. The village has a quite isolated position in a landscape dominated by forest.

Östgötatrafiken's bus line number 552 links Ulrika to Vikingstad railway station, 30 kilometers north, where the local trains Östgötapendeln stop. In Ulrika in 2012 there is a school, a little grocery store and cafe, an old people's home and a local museum that is open in the summer. A popular market is held in Ulrika every year in September.
