Křovák's projection or simply Krovak is a conic projection invented in 1922 by Czech geodesist Josef Křovák.

The projection is based on Bessel ellipsoid and it was made as the optimal projection of Czechoslovakia (in its interwar extent including Carpathian Ruthenia). It is still in use for state maps of Czechia and Slovakia. The corresponding coordinate system is abbreviated S-JTSK (for Systém Jednotné trigonometrické sítě katastrální, "The Unified cadastral trigonometric network System"), code 5514.
