Josef Stejskal (also known as Josef Lada Stejskal and Josef "Pepča" Stejskal; born 3 March 1945, Kroměříž) is a Czech-Australian artist best-known for his theatre posters.

A collection of his posters were exhibited at the Seymour Centre in 1986, a part of which were acquired by the State Library of New South Wales; others joined the Library's collection later from the Dennis Wolanski Library.
