Hlučín (IPA2|ˈɦlutʃiːn; _de. Hultschin; _pl. Hulczyn) is a town in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It is the center of the Hlučín Region. The population was 14,500 as of 2004.

Hlučín was annexed from Habsburg Austria by the Kingdom of Prussia in 1742 after the First Silesian War. The town was administered within the Prussian Province of Silesia until 1920, when it was made part of Czechoslovakia following World War I. After the Munich Agreement in 1938, it was annexed by Nazi Germany and again made part of Prussian Silesia. Hlučín was restored to Czechoslovakia in 1945.
