Miloslav Balun (also credited as Miroslav Balun; 14 December 1920 – 25 December 1994) was a Czechoslovak pair skater. With Soňa Balunová, he became the 1954 European bronze medalist and a six-time national champion. He also competed in volleyball.

In 1953, Balun began working as a skating coach in Prague. He later worked in Russia (1963–1964) and Linz, Austria (from 1967). He married Balunová in 1950. Their daughter, Sonja Balun (born in 1955), competed for Austria in ladies' single skating.
