Václav Drobný (born September 9, 1980 in Mělník) is a footballer and central defender currently playing for Spartak Trnava.

Drobný was the captain of the Under-21 Czech Republic team and debuted for the senior team against Japan - though he failed to secure a spot in Euro 2004.

Drobný has also played for FK Jablonec nad Nisou 97 (on loan from Sparta) during the first half of the 2005/2006 season, RC Strasbourg, Chmel Blšany and Sparta Prague. He also spent the 2004/2005 season at English giants Aston Villa, [cite news |first= |last= |authorlink= |coauthors= |title=Villa clinch Drobny signing |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/aston_villa/3926301.stm |work= |publisher="BBC Sport" |date=2004-08-02 |accessdate=2004-08-02 ] but left having failed to make a single first team appearance. In December 2003, Drobný tested positive for morphine; he successfully argued that it had come about from the use of the legal drug codeine.
