Jana Černá (14 August 1928 – 5 January 1981), born Jana Krejcarová, called "Honza", was a Czech poet, writer, and editor of samizdat editions in Czechoslovakia. She was a daughter of the journalist Milena Jesenská (1896-1944) and architect Jaromír Krejcar (1895-1950). After the communist coup d'état of 1948 she started publishing with her friends Egon Bondy, Ivo Vodseďálek and others in a secret underground edition Půlnoc. She was married 4 times and had 5 children. Černá died at the age of 52 in a car accident.
