Jindra Dolanský (born 14 January 1964) is a Czech musician. He was the saxophone player, backup vocalist and co-composer for the Czech avant garde punk rock group Už Jsme Doma from 1985–2001.[1][2]

In the early '80s, Dolanský became a fixture in the music scene in Teplice, Czech Republic, a town bordering Germany. He was trained on the clarinet in his youth, making him the only trained member of the original Už Jsme Doma lineup,[3] which he formed with six friends in 1985. By the end of 1988, he was the only original member remaining. From 1986-2001, he co-led the band with Miroslav Wanek, until he decided to leave the exhausting lifestyle to focus on his family and opening a restaurant in Prague. He has since performed with the band on special occasions, most notably their 20th anniversary set, which was released as a live CD and DVD, although only one track featuring Dolanský appears on the former.

Dolanský also performs on the album Fancy, by the Oakland, California, avant garde/rock act Idiot Flesh. He plays saxophone on the religious snack-food commercial spoof track "Cheezus."'
