František Blažek (1863 – 1 January 1944) was a Czech-born architect who designed a great number of buildings in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Austro-Hungarian period.[1] In Bosnia and Herzegovina he is also known as Franz Blazek, Franz Blažek or Frank Blazek. Some of his noteworthy works include the Mostar Gymnasium, the Masaryk Independence Tower [cs] in Hořice, Czech Republic, and the Franz Josef Garrison in Sarajevo (today's Ministry of Defence).[2][3]

František Blažek also designed three hotels in Sarajevo's suburb of Ilidža near the Vrelo Bosne: hotels Igman, Austria and Bosna. They were completed in 1895.[4]
