Klára Svatoňová (born January 24, 1993) is a Czech curler. She currently plays lead on the Czech national team, skipped by Anna Kubešková.
In her first World Junior Curling Championships in 2012, Svatoňová was part of the first ever Czech Republic curling team to win a World Championship medal. Her team won the silver medal, Svatoňová playing second for Zuzana Hajkova. The team had a strong performance, finishing the round robin with a 6-3 record, in a five-way tie for second. The team avoided a tie breaker however, and after losing their first playoff game to first place Scotland, they rallied to win the semi-final against Sweden's Sara McManus before losing once again to Scotland's Hannah Fleming in the final.
The team returned to the 2013 World Junior Curling Championships, with fourth-thrower Iveta Janatova now skipping the team. The team finished the round robin with a 5-4 record, in a four-way tie for third place. The team won their tie-breaker match against Denmark's Stephanie Risdal Nielsen before losing to Russia's Yulia Portunova in the playoffs. The team then had to play in the bronze medal game against Japan's Sayaka Yoshimura, which they lost, forcing the team to settle for 4th place.
The next season, Svatoňová joined the Czech women's team, skipped by Anna Kubešková as lead. The team played in the 2013 European Curling Championships, where they finished the event with a 4-5 record in 6th place. The next month, the team played in the Olympic qualifying tournament in order to play at the 2014 Winter Olympics. The team finished the event with a 2-4 record, which was not enough to qualify. Later on, in that season, Svatoňová re-joined her junior team for a final season at the 2014 World Junior Curling Championships. Svatoňová was bumped to the lead position, with Hajkova taking over as skip. The team could not replicate previous successes, finishing with a 3-6 record, in 7th place.
