Kristýna Zemanová (born 27 October 2003) is a Czech cyclist who competes in cyclo-cross, where she is a five-time Czech national champion, from 2022 to 2026.[1]

During 2025, Zemanová struggled with Long COVID, which made her consider quitting cycling.[2] In January 2026, Zemanová recorded her best UCI World Cup result with second place in Hoogerheide, finished behind Amandine Fouquenet.[1] Later that month, at the 2026 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships, Zemanová was involved in a crash with Belgian rider Marion Norbert-Riberolle, who shoved Zemanová in the chest and was subsequently disqualified.[3] Zemanová went on to finish 11th in the race.
