Janko Kroner (born 1 June 1956) is a Slovak film, television and stage actor. Once a regular cast of the Slovak National Theater (SND) (1987–2009), Kroner began his acting career as part of the New Scene (1982–86). In the mid 1990s, alongside staging for his home theater, he gradually began appearing in a local VA-based ensemble called a.ha. In the most recent decade, he has been known as the frontman of the Malá scéna STU, a body supervised by Kroner through 2010-2011.^{[3] [4]}

As a member of the Slovak acting "dynasty" that span three generations to date,^{[5] [6]} Kroner himself has received numerous nominations in his native country, including two LitFond Awards for Performing Arts in Drama, as well two television-focused OTO Awards as TV Male Actor, respectively. Amongst others, he is the only son of Ján Kroner, or rather a nephew of Jozef Kroner.
