Ladislav Jan Šaloun (1 August 1870 – 18 October 1946) was a Czech sculptor of the Art Nouveau period.

This independent education allowed him to avoid the influence of Josef Václav Myslbek, looking instead to the work of Auguste Rodin.

During this time this commission required a much larger studio so he designed Šaloun's Villa where he lived and entertained.

His architectural sculpture for the Municipal House, finished in 1911, is one example of his collaborations with Czech architect Osvald Polívka.

Šaloun is buried in the Vyšehrad Cemetery, not far from his bust of Antonín Dvořák marking the composer's grave.
