Vavro Šrobár (9 August 1867 – 6 December 1950) was a Slovak doctor and politician who was a major figure in Slovak politics in the interwar period.
He played an important role in the creation of Czechoslovakia in 1918 following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and served in a variety of ministerial roles between the wars.
He also served for many years as a representative in the Czechoslovak parliament and was a tenured professor in the history of medicine.
He retired from public life before the outbreak of the Second World War, but following the war he resumed a ministerial career in the re-established Czechoslovak government in the five years before his death.
