Hřensko (German: Herrnskretschen) is a village in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic on the border with Germany. It has cca 320 inhabitants.

Hřensko is placed on the confluence of Kamenice and Labe rivers. It was established during 15th century as trading location.

A large number of shops are operated by salespeople of Vietnamese origin. Many tourists come from Germany to shop and eat cheaply. In addition, the town is a portal to attractions nearby in the České Švýcarsko National Park, including a gorge through which the Kamenice River flows and the Pravčická brána, which was featured in the film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
