Janko Kroner (born 1 June 1956) is a Slovak film, television and stage actor. Once a regular cast of the Slovak National Theater (SND) (1987–2009), Kroner began his acting career as part of the New Scene (1982–86). In the mid 1990s, alongside staging for his home theater, he gradually began appearing in a local VA-based ensemble called a.ha. In the most recent decade, he has been known as the frontman of the Malá scéna STU, a body supervised by Kroner through 2010-2011.{{cite web|url=http://www.bratislavskenoviny.sk/najnovsie-spravy-z-bratislavy/kultura-skolstvo/jan-kroner-otvoril-divadlo-mala-scena-stu.html?page_id=197344|title=Ján Kroner otvoril divadlo Malá scéna STU|date=November 3, 2010|work=Bratislavské noviny|at=bratislavskenoviny.sk|publisher=Nivel Plus, s.r.o|access-date=February 25, 2015|language=sk}}{{cite web|url=http://hn.hnonline.sk/jan-kroner-skoncil-v-divadle-mala-scena-stu-som-sklamany-449972|title=Ján Kroner skončil v divadle Malá scéna STU: Som sklamaný|date=June 22, 2011|author=TASR|author-link=Tlačová agentúra Slovenskej republiky|work=Hospodárske noviny|at=hn.hnonline.sk|publisher=MAFRA|access-date=February 25, 2015|language=sk}}
