Třeboň (; ) is a spa town in Jindřichův Hradec District in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 8,300 inhabitants. The town is located in the Třeboň Basin, on the shore of the fishpond Svět. The Třeboň area is known for its high concentration of fishponds, including the largest fishpond in the world, Rožmberk Pond.
Třeboň was founded in the 12th century, and became an important and wealthy town during the rule of the Rosenberg family in the 14th century. The greatest development occurred in the 16th and early 17th centuries, when Jakub Krčín founded the system of fishponds around the town. The second notable noble owners of Třeboň were the Schwarzenberg family, who acquired the town in 1660.
