Dr. František Sláma (3 November 1850 in Chotěboř - 25 April 1917 in Brno) was a Czech writer, traveller, lawyer and politician. He is known as the first person who spread the knowledge about Silesia to the Czech lands.
He came to Silesia in 1882 when began working as a judge in Cieszyn, the centre of the Duchy of Teschen. He then decided to travel across the Silesian territory, as he was fascinated by local history and traditions. His travels are documented in his most known book Vlastenecké putování po Slezsku (Patriotic Journeys through Silesia).
He was also a deputy in the Land Assembly of Austrian Silesia in Opava from 1895 to 1901, and in Austrian Parliament from 1891 to 1907. Sláma was also active in many organizations.
