Tomáš Hübschman (Czech pronunciation: [ˈtomaːʃ ˈɦɪpʃman]; born 4 September 1981) is a Czech football player of German descent who plays for Jablonec. He can play as a centre-back or defensive midfielder and is known for his strength, speed and tight marking.

Before joining Shakhtar in the summer of 2004, Hübschman played for AC Sparta Prague having started playing for the club's youth at the age of 5 and signing his first professional contract in 1998. Hübschman first came to prominence after joining Jablonec on a loan for 2001/02 season. After gaining positive reviews, he returned to Sparta Prague, where he was a regular in their 02/03 UEFA Champions League run, playing eleven matches. In the 2003/04 season he helped the club to the knockout stage of the 03/04 UEFA Champions League and ended the season helping Sparta win the Czech Cup beating fierce rivals Banik Ostrava 2–1.

After several successful seasons in his homeland, Hübschman joined Shakhtar Donetsk, for a reported fee of €3m. Immediately Hübschman has made an impact, becoming a regular in the team and has won 2 league titles in his first two seasons and became a champion of the UEFA Cup in 2009.

During an April 2012 Ukrainian derby Hübschman put in a superb man of the match performance in midfield to help his side defeat title rivals Dynamo Kyiv 2–0, a result which drew Shakhtar level on points in the league. The previous month Tomas scored his first Ukrainian Premier League goal in two seasons to help the Miners defeat Illichivets Mariupol 2–1.
