Jan Laštůvka (born 7 July 1982 in Havířov) is a Czech professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for MFK Karviná.
Laštůvka started his career at Czech side FC Karviná and moved in summer 2000 to FC Baník Ostrava for four years. In 2003 he won the Talent of the Year award at the Czech Footballer of the Year awards. He won the Czech championship with Baník in the 2003–04 season.
The next step in his career was Ukrainian top club Shakhtar Donetsk. He played a couple of Champions League and UEFA Cup matches this time.
He joined Fulham on 31 August 2006, just prior to the close of the transfer window. He made his Fulham league debut on 2 December 2006 in a 2–0 loss against Blackburn Rovers.
On 1 January 2007, he came on as a second-half substitute for the injured Antti Niemi against Watford, where throughout the game the Fulham fans cheered his every kick or save, as they feared he would make a mistake and cost them the game. The game ended 0–0. He left Fulham in May 2007 to return to his parent club.
Ukrainian League regulations called for all tems to field at least four domestic players each match, and so Shakhtar loaned Laštůvka to German side VfL Bochum until the end of the 2007–08 season as a replacement for compatriot Jaroslav Drobný, who left the club for Hertha BSC Berlin.
Laštůvka started the season as first-choice keeper, but after some mistakes his position was threatened by the reserve keepers. After an injury, then third-choice keeper René Renno got his place. Renno started quite well but also made some mistakes before the winter break, so coach Marcel Koller claimed that all three keepers (Laštůvka, Renno and Philipp Heerwagen) started at zero in the preparations for the second season half. After the winter break Laštůvka was first-choice again and started with a very good match against Werder Bremen, which was rewarded with a nomination in the "Team of the Day" by Germany's leading football magazine kicker. At the end of the season Bochum were interested in signing him, but, due to the 4 million Euro transfer fee, they decided to sign Portuguese keeper Daniel Fernandes from PAOK F.C. instead.
