Antonín Švehla (April 15, 1873 – December 12, 1933) was a Czechoslovakian politician. He served three terms as the prime minister of Czechoslovakia. He is regarded as one of the most important political figures of the First Czechoslovak Republic; he was the leader of the Agrarian Party, which was dominant within the Pětka, which was largely his own invention. Švehla is also credited with the admirable slogan of the pětka: "We have agreed that we will agree."
