Ivan Hašek (born 6 September 1963 in Městec Králové) is a retired Czech footballer who played as a central midfielder.

He spent 11 years of his career with Sparta Prague, appearing in more than 300 official games with the club, and later acting as its manager.

Hašek represented Czechoslovakia at the 1990 World Cup, and was also president of the Football Association of the Czech Republic.

During his 21-year career, Hašek represented AC Sparta Prague (two spells), RC Strasbourg, Sanfrecce Hiroshima and JEF United Ichihara. With the French club, he played two seasons apiece in Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 and, in his last days as a player, spent at main side Sparta, teamed up with cousin Martin.

Hašek played for Czechoslovakia, gaining 55 caps and scored five goals. He was a participant in the 1990 FIFA World Cup, where the national side reached the quarterfinals, with him as team captain; in the group stage 5–1 routing of the United States, he scored the third. After the match, Hašek said: "We are sorry for the score".

A coach since 1999, Hašek managed former clubs Sparta Prague and Strasbourg, as well as Vissel Kobe, Al Wasl FC and AS Saint-Étienne. In December 2007, he took the reins of Dubai-based Al-Ahli.
