Jiří Javorský (9 February 1932 – 16 September 2002) was a Czech tennis player.

In 1957, he and his partner Věra Suková won the mixed doubles at the French Open.

[1] In order to take up his coaching role in Germany, Jiří and his wife Vera moved to Heilbronn in 1968.

One of their two sons was allowed by the Czech authorities to go with them but the other one, Jaroslav, was kept in Czechoslovakia as security for the family's eventual return.

This was achieved via a prisoner exchange in 1986,[4] mainly through the efforts of the Campaign for the defence of the Unjustly Prosecuted (CDUP), led by Josef Josten, an exiled Czech journalist, and Lord Braine, a British politician.
