Luboš Kalouda (born 20 May 1987 in Brno) is a Czech footballer who is currently on trial with Irish side Limerick FC.

He was a member of the Czech Republic National U-20 Team which won silver medals in 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Kalouda scored three goals (against Korea DPR, Panama and Spain) and was one of the best players in the Czech team. Because of his great performances in autumn 2007 (playing for 1. FC Brno) he was picked in January 2008 for the senior Czech national team for the first time. His style of play was compared to that of the legendary Czech midfielder Pavel Nedvěd.

In January 2008 Brno were offered €4million by Juventus F.C., who saw Kalouda as a possible long term replacement for Nedvěd; however, the teams failed to reach an agreement. Despite interest from English Premier League teams Newcastle United and Chelsea, Dutch team PSV Eindhoven, Kalouda signed a five-year contract at CSKA with a transfer fee of 5.18 million Euros.
