Jan Volek (c. 1290–1351) was the illegitimate son of King Wenceslaus II of Bohemia and the last male Přemyslid. Before ordination he was a canon at Prague and Olomouc, and from 1319 served as provost of Vyšehrad and chancellor to King John of Luxembourg.

In 1334 Pope John XXII named him Bishop of Olomouc and he was ordained a priest. He was a councillor to his half-sister Queen Elizabeth and deputy governor of Moravia under his nephew Charles IV. He died at Olomouc on 27 September 1351.
