Ropičanka (Polish: Ropiczanka) is a 16 km long river in Frýdek-Místek and Karviná districts, Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic. It is a left tributary of the Olza River, to which it enters at the outskirts of Český Těšín. Ropičanka flows through Řeka, Smilovice, Střítež and Ropice (from source to mouth). Small portion of its volume (about 0.07 m³/s) is diverted to watershed of the Stonávka River in order to increase flow rate in Těrlicko Dam.
