Moravice (German: Mohra) is a river in the Czech Republic, the right tributary of the river Opava. It originates in the Hrubý Jeseník mountain range at the elevation of 1,135 m and flows south-eastward. Near Opava it enters the Opava River. It is 100.5 km long, and its basin area is 899.9 km2.[1] The river partially forms the historical border between Moravia and Silesia.
It flows through Malá Morávka, Dolní Moravice, Břidličná, Kružberk, Staré Těchanovice, Hradec nad Moravicí, Branka u Opavy and Opava. The Slezská Harta Reservoir and Kružberk Reservoir are constructed on the river. Its major tributary is Hvozdnice.
