Milan Šrejber (IPA[ˈmɪlan ˈʃrɛjbr̩]) (born December 30, 1963 in Prague) is a former tennis player from Czechoslovakia, who represented his native country at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. There here reached the semi finals of the men's doubles competition, partnering Miloslav Mečíř. The pair was defeated by America's eventual winners Ken Flach and Robert Seguso, but still won the bronze medal. The righthander won one career singles title (Rye Brook, 1988), and reached his highest singles ATP-ranking on October 13, 1986, when he became the number 23 of the world.

After his tennis career ended Šrejber went into business. Corruption case (where he secretly financed then ruling political party in the Czech Republic and was granted very generous conditions during privatization of a steel mill) was followed by imprisonment and among Czechs the name Šrejber became synomym of political corruption.
