Praschma or Pražma (fully Praschma of Bilkau and Falkenberg; Czech: Pražmové z Bílkova or Páni z Bílkova; Polish: Prazma) is a Moravian noble family.

Notable members include Jan Nepomuk I. Ferdinand Pražma (1726–1804), the founder of the Czech village Pražmo;[1] Friedrich von Praschma, member of the Reichstag and co-founder of the Centre Party (Germany);[2] and Hans Praschma von Bilkau, Reichstag member from 1902 to 1918, member of the Prussian House of Representatives, and Bailiff Knight Grand Cross of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta.[3][4][5]

The family seat was in the town of Niemodlin (then known as Falkenberg) until the end of World War II, when the town became part of the nascent Eastern Bloc.[6]
