Miloslav Balun[1] (also credited as Miroslav Balun; 14 December 1920 – 25 December 1994) was a Czechoslovak pair skater. With Soňa Balunová, he became the 1954 European bronze medalist[2][3][4][5] and a six-time national champion. He also competed in volleyball.

In 1953, Balun began working as a skating coach in Prague. He later worked in Russia[1] (1963–1964) and Linz, Austria (from 1967). He married Balunová in 1950. Their daughter, Sonja Balun (born in 1955), competed for Austria in ladies' single skating.
