Český slavík () is an award meant to recognize outstanding achievement and annual popularity in the Czech music industry. It was established in 1996 as the successor to the Zlatý slavík awards, which were established in 1962 in Czechoslovakia by the magazine Mladý svět and continued until 1991.
From 1999 to 2017, the award was sponsored by the mineral water bottling company Mattoni and hence officially known as Český slavík Mattoni.
In 2018, the award was cancelled due to vote manipulation in favor of the controversial group Ortel the previous year. In 2021, the event was revived with the support of entrepreneur Karel Janeček. A year later, the award came under the ownership of TV Nova.
Český slavík prizes are awarded in the categories Absolute Nightingale, Female Singer, Male Singer, Group, Hip Hop, Discovery of the Year, and Hall of Fame. Former categories include Slovak Artist, Biggest Gainer, and Internet Star.
