The Ostravice ( German: Ostravice ) is a right tributary of the Oder in Ostrava- Hrušov (Czech Republic). It forms the natural border between Moravia (left bank ) and Silesia ( right bank). The river is considered to be the namesake of the city of Ostrava. The catchment area is 826.8 km ².

The Ostravice arises below the Príslop ( 782 m) at Althammer in the Moravian- Silesian Beskids by the confluence of two source rivers:

  • Bila Ostravice ( White Ostravice ) - originates at Vysoká and flows through Bila
  • Cerna Ostravice ( Black Ostravice ) - originates at Grúň at Bily Kříž

Shortly after its formation, the river flows through the reservoir Šance, continue in a northwesterly direction over Ostravice, Frýdlant nad Ostravicí and Frýdek- Místek where discharges from the right Morávka. Behind Paskov flows into the Ostravice left the Olešná and in Slezská Ostrava from the right Lučina before the Ostrawice after 65 km at Landek empties into the Oder.

In the municipality Ostravice can be on the river bared rock formations observed, by way of example to show the geological composition and layering of the Carpathian flysch zones. The site is visited frequently to excursion purposes and is since 1966 řeky as a natural monument Koryto Ostravice under protection.
