Pospíšilová is a Czech surname, representing the feminine form of Pospíšil. The root name, Pospíšil, is derived from the Czech verb pospíšit meaning "to hurry," originally functioning as a nickname for a person known for their haste or quickness.
In Czech onomastic tradition, the suffix -ová is attached to masculine surnames to form feminine versions, a practice common across many Slavic languages. Thus, Pospíšilová denotes a female bearer of the surname, often the wife or daughter of a man named Pospíšil.
Notable bearers include Alžběta "Eliška" Pospíšilová (1900–1994), cultural worker; Dorota Pospíšilová (born 1930), Slovak viticulturist; and Jana Pospíšilová (born 1970), Czech tennis player. The variant Pospischil also exists, as seen with German footballer Christian Pospischil.
