Miroslav Macek (born 7 December 1944 in Litomyšl, Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia) is a politician and former deputy prime minister of the Czech Republic.

A former dentist, Macek is well known for his association with current Czech President Václav Klaus, his deep implication in the occult funding of Klaus' ODS party, his attempt to "privatise" for himself a large publishing company.

In May 2006 Macek made international news when, coming from behind, he struck the Minister of Health David Rath at a dentists' conference, accusing him of having insulted his wife (after Rath had publicly stated that Macek had married his wife for money).^[1]
