Josef Čada (March 30, 1881 – December 1, 1959) was a Czech gymnast who represented Bohemia and Czechoslovakia in the Men's Artistic Gymnastics.[1] He made his debut in 1907 at the third World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Prague, where he won gold in the individual all-around competition and the team all-around competition. Čada also competed for Bohemia in the 1909, 1911, and 1913 Championships and won individual and team medals.[2]

He competed in the 1908 Summer Olympics individual all-around gymnastics competition for Bohemia, placing 25th. After World War I, Čada returned to competing and represented Czechoslovakia at the 1920 Antwerp Summer Olympic Games, where he placed 4th in the team all-around competition.
