Karolína Peake (born 10 October 1975), née Kvačková, is a Czech politician and lawyer who she served as the Deputy Prime Minister of the Czech Republic from 2011 to 2013. She was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in the 2010 election, representing Public Affairs (VV), but left in April 2012 with seven other MPs. The party she founded after breaking away from VV took the name "LIDEM", which means "for the people" in Czech, and is also based on the first letters of "Liberal Democrats". She was appointed Minister of Defense in December 2012, but was dismissed by Prime Minister Petr Nečas eight days later, due to criticism of her rapid replacement of ministry deputies.
