Petr Čajánek audio|Cs-Petr_Cajanek.ogg|Listen (born August 17, 1975 in Gottwaldov, Czechoslovakia) is a center, playing for HC Dynamo Moscow in the Kontinental Hockey League.

Petr Čajánek played for HC Zlin from 1993 to 2002. In the 2001-02 season, he was the leading scorer in the Czech Extraliga. In the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, he was drafted 253rd overall, in the 7th round by the St. Louis Blues. He was then signed to an NHL contract.

On February 26th, 2007, Petr Čajánek was placed on waivers by the St. Louis Blues, which would have effectively allowed any other NHL club to sign him. When no other NHL teams tendered Čajánek an offer, the Blues resigned him to a league-minimum contract, and added him back to their roster. Though he was placed on waivers, the 2006-07 season was his best, putting up a career high 48 points, good for 3rd on the Blues. On October 21st, 2007, Čajánek signed a 1-year, $900,000 deal to play for Kazan in the Russian Super League for the rest of the season.
