Jaroslav "Jarek" Janiš (born 8 July 1983) is a Czech professional racing driver recognized for his involvement in multiple global motorsport competitions. During the 2006 season, he took part in the FIA GT Championship, where he earned three pole positions at Brno, Dijon, and the Hungaroring circuits. He successfully transformed two of these poles into wins while collaborating with teammates Sascha Bert and occasionally with former Formula One competitor Andrea Montermini. Before 2006, Janiš had entered six GT Championship events, including four races in 2003 driving a Ferrari 360 Modena for the Menx team, accumulating 17.5 points.

Originating from Olomouc, Czechoslovakia, Janiš boasts a solid foundation in single-seater racing disciplines. In 1999, he placed seventh in the German Formula Ford championship and advanced to second place in 2000, also securing fourth position in the European Formula Ford series. In 2001, he substituted for fellow Czech Tomáš Enge during the final round of the International Formula 3000 held at Monza. The following year, he finished third overall in the European Formula 3000 championship and continued international competition into 2003. Janiš debuted in Champ Car with Dale Coyne Racing in 2004 and participated in Japan's Formula Nippon series in 2005.

Additionally, he represented A1 Team Czech Republic in the A1 Grand Prix series. Jaroslav is the older sibling of fellow racer Erik Janiš.
