František Kubka was a Czech writer, journalist and diplomat. He was a regular at the "Friday Men" meetings at Karel Čapek's house from 1921 to 1938. His folk tale of the romance of Peter Vok with a miller's daughter became the basis of the most popular post-war Czech opera, Zuzana Vojířová. He was appointed ambassador to Bulgaria (1946–1949).
