Vlastimil Černý (born April 7, 1963) is a former butterfly and freestyle swimmer, who competed for Canada at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea.[1] There he finished in 12th position in the 100-metre butterfly, and in ninth place with the men's 4x100-metre freestyle relay team.

In 1982, he, along with Miloslav Rolko, Tereza Vrtiskova and Josef Kuf (all swimmers), defected from Czechoslovakia following a meet in Sindelfingen, West Germany.[2]

Černý has been the coach of the University of Manitoba Bisons Swim team since 1993.[3] In 2020, he was awarded the U SPORTS Fox 40 women's swimming Coach of the Year.[4]
