Ostrava (/ˈɔs.tra.va/, en polonais : Ostrawa, en allemand : Ostrau, autrefois Mährisch-Ostrau) est une ville du nord-est de la Tchéquie, la capitale de la région de Moravie-Silésie et le chef-lieu du district d'Ostrava-Ville. Sa population s'élevait à 279 791 habitants en 2022. Située à la confluence de deux rivières, au débouché de la Porte de Moravie, ce fut dès l'Antiquité un lieu de passage important. En raison de la richesse de ses mines de charbon, elle fut aux XIXe et XXe siècles un des grands bassins sidérurgiques d'Europe centrale.
