Jablonecké Sklárny – Czechoslovak state-owned enterprise (národní podnik) in which, several years after the 1948 nationalisation, the glassworks in the Jizera Mountains were brought together. Its headquarters were in Dolní Polubný, while Desná v Jizerských horách is also given in descriptions of its production; the enterprise included, among others, a works in Janov nad Nisou.
In 1958, unlike most utility glassworks, Jablonecké Sklárny – together with Železnobrodské sklo – became part of the Sdružení podniků jablonecké bižuterie association. The enterprise's award-winning products included ashtrays designed by Václav Pátek. The Museum of Glass and Jewellery in Jablonec nad Nisou holds more than 400 items from its production; in 2006, it bought the enterprise's former sample room from the successor company Jablonecké Sklárny s.r.o.
