Jan Kukal (born 13 September 1942) is a former professional tennis player who competed for Czechoslovakia.
Kukal won the Czechoslovakian National Championships in 1968, the same year that he played his first Davis Cup tie for his country. He went on to appear in a total of 16 Davis Cup ties and finished with a 13-11 career record, which included five singles wins.[1] In 1969 he was a member of the Czechoslovak team that won Europe's King's Cup.[2]
He reached four Grand Prix/WCT doubles finals during his career, for one win, at Des Moines in 1973.[2]
At Grand Slam level his best performance was a semi-final appearance in the doubles event at the 1972 French Open, with Jan Kodeš.[3]
