Josef Matoušek (7 September 1928 – 11 May 2019) was a Czechoslovak track and field athlete known primarily for the hammer throw.
He represented his native country at the Athletics at the 1964 Summer Olympics finishing ninth.
A year before the Olympics, he threw his personal best of 68.78 m,[1] and later that season after his 35th birthday he threw 66.82 m which became the Masters M35 world record.
Had he been able to put together another 68 meter throw in the Olympics it would have made a bronze medal.
