Morávka (Template:Lang-pl) is a river in Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic. It flows through the historical region of Těšín Silesia.

It originates on the slope of Sulov mountain in the Moravian-Silesian Beskids in the elevation of 880 m, near the border with Slovakia. It then flows in northwestward direction through the sparsely populated area. Some 10 km from the source a dam was built in 1961-1966. Lower course of the river is unique due to its natural character and as such it is protected. Morávka enters to the Ostravice River in Frýdek.
