David Vaněček (born 9 March 1991) is a Czech professional football player who played for Sigma Olomouc. He has represented his country at Under-16, Under-18 and Under-19 level.

## Career

He spent time on loan at six clubs over a three-year period between 2010 and 2013. Vaněček signed a permanent contract with Hradec Králové in February 2014, tying him to the club until the end of the 2015–16 season. He is the cousin of another David Vaněček; they played together at Sokolov.

Vaněček joined Scottish Premiership side Heart of Midlothian in January 2019, having signed a pre-contract agreement in July 2018. In his second appearance for the club he was described as "rubbish" by manager Craig Levein, and substituted after 34 minutes. Levein later said that Vaněček had apologised to him for his lack of fitness. Vanacek was released the following summer having left Hearts by mutual consent, and two days later signed to Hungarian Nemzeti Bajnokság I team Puskás Akadémia.
