David Sebastian Klement Rozehnal (born 5 July 1980 in Šternberk) is a Czech footballer who plays for K.V. Oostende in the Belgian Pro League.

In 2004, Rozehnal played for the Czech Republic at the European Championship where the team made it to the semi-finals before being knocked out by Greece. He won the Belgian Cup in his first season with Brugge and the Belgian League in 2005. He signed for Paris Saint-Germain in June 2005.
Rozehnal played in all three of Czech Republic's matches at the 2006 FIFA World Cup and is the 33rd most capped player in Czech history. At Paris Saint Germain in the 2006–07 season, he was named as the club's Player of the Year. His form resulted in reported interest from Borussia Dortmund, Newcastle United and Sevilla.
