Ota Filip (born 1930 in Ostrava, in the present-day Czech Republic), is a Czech novelist and journalist. He has written in both German and Czech. His novels have also been translated into French, Italian, Spanish and Polish. During the communist era government of Czechoslovakia his works were banned or censored by the authorities, and this has been cited as the reason that he moved to Germany in 1974.

Ota Filip's work is cited as focusing on the themes of the migrant or dislocated individual by critics such as Dorothea Uhle.

He has been awarded the The Adelbert von Chamisso-Preis for German writing by a non-native German speaker.
