Kunčice ( _pl. Kończyce Wielkie, _de. Gross Kunzendorf, till 1908 known as "Velké Kunčice", then as "Kunčice nad Ostravicí") is a part of the city of Ostrava, Moravian-Silesian Region in the Czech Republic. Administratively it is a part of the district of Slezská Ostrava. Kunčice was formerly an independent municipality, in 1941 it became a part of Ostrava.

It lies in the historical region of Těšín Silesia and was first mentioned in a written document in 1305 as "Cuncindorf". [Hosák et al 1970, 473.] The village had mainly agricultural character, yet since the end of the 19th century majority of locals worked in nearby mills and coal mines. Kunčice was heavily industrialized during the 1950s when Nová huť iron and steel works complex was built.

According to the Austrian census of 1910 the village had 2,460 inhabitants, 2,417 of whom had permanent residence there. Census asked people for their native language, 2,223 (92%) were Czech-speaking and 169 (7%) were Polish-speaking.
