Шаблон:Infobox tennis biography Helena Matouš (nee Štraubeová; born 1921) is a Czech-Italian former tennis player. Born in Plzeň, Matouš was active during the 1940s and 1950s. She married tennis player and ice hockey international Milan Matouš.[1]

In 1948, following the communist takeover, she was one of four Czechoslovak players who were reported missing while on a tennis tour of Italy. Two members of the group, Jaroslav Drobný and Vladimír Černík, ended up returning to Prague before defecting for good a year later, while Matouš and future husband Milan Matouš stayed in Italy.[2]

Matouš was a singles runner-up at the 1949 Welsh Championships, reached the women's doubles quarter-finals of the 1950 French Championships and made the singles fourth round of the 1951 Wimbledon Championships.[3]

Settling in the ski resort of Cortina d'Ampezzo, Matouš and her husband had a child Elena who was a national champion in alpine skiing. Her son in law Fausto Radici was an Olympic skier.[1]
