Josef Vávra (born 17 March 1984) is a Czech former professional ice hockey left winger.

Vávra was selected in the eighth round, 246th overall by the Ottawa Senators in 2002 NHL Entry Draft.[1] He played for the Tri-City Americans and the Kootenay Ice of the jWestern Hockey League before playing four games for VHK Vsetín in the Czech Extraliga.

Vávra retired from ice hockey in 2006 to work in his father’s business. His teammate from age ten through his time with VHK Vsetin, Robin Kovář, said about Vávra’s retirement, “I think he made a wrong decision to quit, but that’s life.”[2]
