Matice česká was a Czech publishing house and cultural institution, similar to other Slavic Matice institutions. It was an important milestone in Czech National Revival.[1]

It was established by František Palacký in 1831 at the National Museum and played an important role in preservation of the Czech language.[2]

Counterparts of Matice česká (Bohemia) in other Czech lands were Matice moravská (Moravia) and Matice slezská (Austrian Silesia).
