Moravský Krumlov (IPA[ˈmorafski: ˈkrʊmlof]; German: Mährisch Kromau) is a town in the Znojmo District, South Moravian Region, Czech Republic. It has about 6,023 inhabitants (2005 est.).

The city is named Moravský Krumlov ("Moravian Krumlov") to differentiate it from Český Krumlov ("Bohemian Krumlov"), which is further west.

The castle of Moravský Krumlov is home to the series of paintings by Alphonse Mucha known as "The Slav Epic" (Slovanská epopej).
