This is a partial list of famous Czech, Czech-speaking/writing people, and people born in the Czech Republic.
Note: Several people on this list can also claim other nationalities; some were Czech-born, but spent the most important part of their lives outside the Czech Republic (e.g. Madeleine Albright), others were born in the time of Austrian/Austro-Hungarian Empire and therefore may be listed also as Austrians (e.g. Freud, Mahler etc.).
