Miroslav Soukup (born 13 November 1965 in Prachatice, Czechoslovakia) is a Czech football coach and former player.

He was one of the managers leading successful Czech Republic national under-20 football team, runners-up at the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup held in Canada and was also manager of bronze medal Czech Republic national under-19 football team at the 2006 UEFA European Under-19 Football Championship. He was also manager of Egypt national under-20 football team.[1][2]

He became the coach of 1. FC Slovácko, replacing Josef Mazura on 18 April 2010.[3] After losing the opening three games of the 2012–13 Gambrinus liga, Soukup was relieved of his duties.[4] Soukup was not out of football for long, as he took over at Gambrinus liga side SK Dynamo České Budějovice in September 2012 following the dismissal of František Cipro.[5] He didn't last long as he was sacked in the winter break of the 2012–13 season after a 6–1 friendly match loss to Mladá Boleslav in February 2013.[6] On 13 May 2014 he was confirmed as the head coach of Yemen national football team.
