Jan Bula (24 July 1920 Lukov – 20 May 1952 Jihlava) was a Czech Roman Catholic priest and victim of the Czechoslovak Communist regime.
He was sentenced to death in one of the show trials of the Babice case and hanged. In 1990 he was posthumously rehabilitated.
The Catholic Church has been considering his beatification since 2004[1] under the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brno.[2] Pope Leo XIV and the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints approved his beatification alongside Father Václav Drbola on October 24, 2025.[3]
