Pavel Huťka (born 28 February 1949) is a former professional tennis player from the Czech Republic who competed for Czechoslovakia, and is now a tennis trainer.

Hutka held a match point against Italy's Adriano Panatta in the opening round of the 1976 French Open, but lost 10-12 in the fifth set. The Italian went on to win the tournament.

He made the third round of the 1977 French Open (beating Jan Simbera and Brian Teacher) and appeared in a further three French Opens, without matching that effort.

Hutka was a doubles finalist at Kitzbuhel in 1979. He and partner Pavel Složil lost the final to Mike Fishbach and Chris Lewis.
