Bohumil Němeček (2 January 1938 – 2 May 2010) was a Czech welterweight boxer. He first trained in ice hockey, and changed to boxing only in 1955, winning Czechoslovak national titles in 1959 and 1960, an Olympic gold medal in 1960, and a European title in 1967. He also competed at the 1964 and 1968 Olympics, but in both cases was eliminated in the second round. After retiring as a participant, Němeček worked as a boxing coach and a bus driver. His health rapidly deteriorated after suffering a stroke in 2000, eventually resulting in his death ten years later.
