The Czechoslovak Hussite Church (Czech: Církev československá husitská, CČSH or CČH; Slovak: Cirkev československá husitská) is a Christian church that separated from the Catholic Church after World War I in former Czechoslovakia.

Both the Czechoslovak Hussite Church and Moravian Church trace their tradition back to the Hussite reformers and acknowledge Jan Hus (John Huss) as their predecessor.[4] It was well-supported by Czechoslovakia's first president, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk,[5] who himself belonged to the Evangelical Church of Czech Brethren.[6]

The Czechoslovak Hussite Church describes itself as neo-Hussite.[1]
