Josef Věromír Pleva (12 August 1899 – 7 September 1985) was a Czech writer of books for children.

The group ended its activities in 1930, and after he became teacher in Brno in the same year, Pleva turned to writing children's books instead.

From 1932 he collaborated with the Czechoslovak Radio and from 1937, he directed broadcasts for schools and youth in this institution.

Pleva then wrote many books for children and young adults, often with socialist orientation.

Between 1929 and 1930, Pleva wrote ten short stories about the little boy Bobeš, which he first published as a book in 1931.
