Highway D8 (Czech: Dálnice D8) is a highway in the Czech Republic. When completed it will, from Prague, pass through Ústí nad Labem, and connect to the German Bundesautobahn 17 at the border. The first segment of the highway was opened in 1990, and the segment from Ústí nad Labem to the German border was opened in December 2006, which includes the longest tunnel in the Czech Republic, the 2,058 m-long Panenská tunnel. A controversial segment through the České Středohoří protected landscape area is in preparation.
