Slavník (? - 981) was a Bohemian nobleman and the founder of Slavník's dynasty. He is said to have had consanguinity with the Saxon kings.

He had several children by his wife Střezislava, known are 6 of his sons: Soběbor (his heir), Saint Adalbert, Spytimír, Pobraslav, Pořej and Čáslav. He had also a son named Radzim Gaudenty by another woman (probably a concubine). According to Cosmas' chronicle, Slavnik was a happy man all his lifetime.

It is supposed by some historians, that either Slavník or his wife Střezislava had kinship with the Premyslid dynasty, who were the rulers of Bohemia. Střezislava might have been a daughter of Vratislaus I of Bohemia, Slavnik's relationship to the Premyslid family could have been through his father Vok, possibly a nephew of Borivoj I of Bohemia.
