Karel Poláček (22 March 1892 – 21 January 1945) was a Czechoslovak writer, humorist and journalist of Jewish descent. His first novel was Dům na předměstí (1928) (English A House in the Suburbs) in which he portrayed a rebirth of a "small man" into a dehumanised creature as soon as he is possessed with proprietary instincts to possess. He was widely popular for his humoristic prose such as Muži v offsidu (1931) (Men in Offside), which was made into a movie that year by director Svatopluk Innem
