Thea Červenková (May 27, 1882 – 1961) was born in Prague, Bohemia, Austria-Hungary [now Czech Republic]. She was the second Czechoslovak woman film director (the first one is considered to be Olga Rautenkranzová), and a screenwriter, writer, documentary maker, film actress, film journalist and critic, producer, film company owner and founding partner.
During her short film career in Czechoslovakia (1918–1923), Červenková occupied several professions — she translated continuity intertitles, wrote eight scripts, directed eight movies, four of which were produced by her own company Filmový ústav, and wrote articles for the pioneering trade film magazine Československý film. She was known as the "lady crazy about the film."
