Jaroslav Róna (born 27 April 1957 in Prague) is a Czech sculptor and painter, also active as a writer and actor. He is best known for bronze sculptures placed in public spaces in Prague and other Czech towns.
He trained at art schools in Prague between 1972 and 1984, and at the Arts and Crafts College he studied, among others, under Stanislav Libenský. Around 1984 he became associated with the movement known as Pražská pětka (The Five of Prague). In his early years he exhibited Dada-inspired paintings in Hradec Králové, away from official art. In 1987 he co-founded the group Tvrdohlaví (The Stubborn Ones), which challenged the official Union of Visual Artists.
After the Velvet Revolution of 1989 he achieved considerable success. His works include the bronze statue of Franz Kafka on Dušní Street in Prague (2001), the sculpture Little Martian in Hadovka Park (2005), and David and Goliath in Cheb (2007). His studio is located near the Jewish cemetery, beside Kafka's tomb. His legacy is visible in the many works of his that stand in Czech urban spaces.
