Josef Čada (March 30, 1881 – December 1, 1959) was a Czech gymnast who competed for Bohemia in the 1908 Summer Olympics and for Czechoslovakia in the 1920 Summer Olympics.[1] He made his debut in 1907 at the third World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Prague, winning gold in the individual all-around competition and the team all-around competition. Čada also competed for Bohemia in 1909, 1911, and 1913 Championships, and won many individual and team medals.[2]

After World War I, Čada returned to competition and represented Czechoslovakia at the 1920 Antwerp Summer Olympic Games, where he placed 4th in the team all-around competition. He had previously competed in the 1908 Olympics individual all-around gymnastics competition, placing 25th.

His success is best seen in the Sokol's context movement within the former Bohemia and its successor, Czechoslovakia.
