The Royal Brewery of Krušovice (cs: Královský pivovar Krušovice, shortform Krušovice) is a Czech beer brewer, established in 1517 when Jiří Birka from Násile inherited a farm that had a brewery in the village of Krušovice.

As of 2005, the Royal Brewery of Krušovice is the 5th largest producer of beer in the Czech Republic. The brewery makes both pils and dark beer.
