Vladimír Sobotka (Czech pronunciation: [ˈvlaɟɪmiːr ˈsobotka]; born 2 July 1987) is a Czech professional ice hockey centre currently playing for the St. Louis Blues of the National Hockey League (NHL). Sobotka has also previously played for the Boston Bruins and in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) for Avangard Omsk. Sobotka was selected in the fourth round, 106th overall, in 2005 by the Boston Bruins from Slavia Prague of the Czech Extraliga.
Sobotka played his first NHL game during the 2007–08 season on 24 November 2007, against the New York Islanders. His first career NHL goal was scored later that season, on 13 February 2008, against Ty Conklin of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
On 26 June 2010, the Boston Bruins traded Sobotka to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for the rights to prospect David Warsofsky.
On 6 November 2010, Sobotka recorded his first goal for the Blues against his former club, the Boston Bruins, beating Tuukka Rask after a turnover in the Bruins' zone. At the end of the 2010–11 season, he finished with 29 points in 65 games.
On 15 June 2011, Sobotka signed a three-year contract extension with the Blues.
