Cherven Bryag (Червен бряг) is a town in northern Bulgaria, part of Pleven Province, on the right shore of the Zlatna Panega. Cherven Bryag is a medieval settlement mentioned in 1431 in Ottoman registers as Dobrolak. Under its present name, meaning "red shore" and referring to the reddish clay in the vicinity of the river, Cherven Bryag was first recorded in the 16h century as part of the Ottoman region of Nikopol. On 26 June 1929, Prime Minister Andrey Lyapchev proclaimed the former village and station a town.
