Soudobé dějiny [Contemporary History] is the quarterly of the Institute of Contemporary History at the Academy of Sciences in Prague, published since 1993. It aims primarily to contribute to the development and formation of the field of contemporary history in the Czech Republic and to the renewal and spread of historical memory of the recent past. It endeavours to be open to a wide range of topics, methods, and styles, and to go beyond narrow definitions of the discipline of historiography, to include other social sciences.

Soudobé dějiny mainly publishes original research on the history of Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic in the twentieth century in the broader international context. Its articles, however, also consider the history and historiography of other countries, particularly those of central Europe, as well as questions of theory and method in the writing of history.

The individual numbers of the journal are usually focused on a central theme. A regular feature of the journal is reviews and annotations. Each issue of Soudobé dějiny includes English-language summaries of the articles.
