Dušan Uhrin Jr. (born 11 October 1967) is a Czech football manager. He is the son of Dušan Uhrin senior who is also a football manager.

Dušan Uhrin Jr. played in his youth at Meteor Prague and Bohemians Prague. He started his senior career at Meteor in 1984, before moving to Montáže Prag and subsequently FC Jílové. While at the latter, Uhrin suffered a severe injury and decided to concentrate on a coaching career. Between 1990 and 1991 he stepped up into the role of player/manager at RH Strašnice, but afterwards only kept on playing on occasion for FC Jílové until 1998, when he retired altogether from his playing career.

Although Uhrin first managed RH Strašnice in 1990, his first real major team in 2000, when he co-coached Sparta Prague. He got a longer managing stint at Bohemians Prague between 2002 and 2004, but Uhrin came into the limelight while at FK Mladá Boleslav, whom he took over in 2004. After saving the team from relegation in his first season, he managed the amazing feat of becoming vice-champions of the Czech first league in the 2005–06 season. Mladá Boleslav impressed in Europe the following season, not least because of defeating Olympique de Marseille in the first round of the UEFA Cup, and one of the people who took notice of Uhrin's achievements was Timișoara boss Marian Iancu. Despite finishing third with Mladá Boleslav that year, Dušan Uhrin Jr. accepted to take over Politehnica Timișoara, stating that it was important for him to find a new challenge.

In the first year at Timisoara, Uhrin achieved qualification to the UEFA Cup, thereby marking the first European presence of a Timisoara team since 1992. Although his achievements in the first half of the 2008/2009 season were even more impressive, with the club being placed third despite a six-point penalty imposed by FIFA, the FC Timisoara owner, Marian Iancu, decided to sack Dušan Uhrin Jr. in early December, for undisclosed reasons. (Marian Iancu is known though to often do such uninspired moves, also sacking before the end of the season – the best in the team's history – the follower of Dušan Uhrin Jr. as team coach and having done something similarly a few years before with Romanian coach Cosmin Olăroiu).
