Zdeněk Šebek (born 14 November 1959) is a Czech Paralympic archer and former track and field athlete.

He competed at the 1992 and 1996 Summer Paralympics as a track and field athlete competing in the javelin throw, discus throw and shot put. He also competed in the wheelchair sprints at the 1992 Summer Paralympics where he did not advance into the finals.[1]
