Czech - Lebanese relations are bilateral relations between Czech Republic and Lebanon. The diplomatic relations between Czechoslovakia and the Republic of Lebanon were first established in 1947. In the same year the Czechoslovakian Diplomatic mission was opened in Beirut and it was granted the Embassy's status in 1962.

The relations between the Czech Republic and Lebanon have been traditionally friendly and unwavering. Within their potentials both countries have been strengthening their economic cooperation and also collaboration in the filed of education and culture. The good bilateral relations have been reinforced in the past by the humanitarian aid provided by the Czech Republic to Lebanon. In autumn of 2003 the Czech Republic has presented Lebanon with two KMT-6 de-mining machines and in 2004 was participating in the U.N. "Trees Instead of Mines" project with the object to reforest in the recently de-mined areas in southern Lebanon. After the summer conflict in 2006 the Czech Republic contributed in post-war reconstruction of Lebanon. The Czech Republic regularly supports financially the UNRWA agency, and is one of the supporters of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon that investigates the murder of late PM Rafic Hariri.
