The Slovak Soviet Republic (Slovak: Slovenská republika rád, Hungarian: Szlovák Tanácsköztársaság, Ukrainian: Словацька Радянська Республіка, literally: "Slovak Republic of Councils" - the name originated before the Russian word "Soviet" (council) became widespread in Slovak and other languages include Hungarian and Ukrainian) comprised a very short-lived Communist state in southeast Slovakia from 16 June to 7 July 1919 with its capital city in Prešov. It was headed by the Czech journalist Antonín Janoušek.

In 1918, Czechoslovak troops began occupying northern Hungary in accordance with the territorial promises that the Triple Entente made to Czechoslovak politicians during World War I. However, Slovakia (Upper Hungary) was occupied by Hungarian troops from the Hungarian Soviet Republic, who set up the Slovak Soviet Republic as a puppet regime.

Following a brief war between Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Romania, Slovakia was incorporated into Czechoslovakia.
