Bohemians are inhabitants of Bohemia, Czech Republic.

"Bohemians" is mainly an obsolete designation for Czechs used predominantly before 1918. However, there was a significant German minority before 1945 in Bohemia. Therefore the term "Bohemian", despite related mostly to Czechs, referred also to local Germans called "Bohemian Germans", later in 20th century Sudeten Germans.

A secondary meaning for the term Bohemian emerged in early 19th century France. The term was used to describe a group of artists, writers, and disenchanted people of all sorts who wished to live a non-traditional lifestyle. See the article Bohemianism for more on this.
