Josef Čada (30 March 1881 – 1 December 1959) was a Czech gymnast who represented Bohemia and Czechoslovakia in Men's Artistic Gymnastics.[1] He made his World Championships debut in 1907 at the third World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Prague, where his team won the team all-around competition. Čada also competed for Bohemia in the 1909, 1911, and 1913 Championships, winning team medals.[2] Josef Cada is officially recognized by both the FIG[3] (the official governing body of the sport of Artistic Gymnastics) and USAG[4] (the official governing body of the sport of Artistic gymnastics within the USA) as the 1907 World All-Around Champion in the sport of Artistic gymnastics.

He competed in the 1908 Summer Olympics individual all-around gymnastics competition for Bohemia, placing 25th. After World War I, Čada returned to competing and represented Czechoslovakia at the 1920 Antwerp Summer Olympic Games, where he placed 4th in the team all-around competition.
