Pivovar Eggenberg is a brewery in Český Krumlov, Czech Republic.
Brewing in Český Krumlov dates back to 1336. The House of Eggenberg acquired a brewery in the town in 1522 and relocated it to its current location from 1625–30. The House of Schwarzenberg began modernizing the brewery in 1719 and decorated it in a Baroque style.
Following World War II, the brewery was nationalized by the communist government of Czechoslovakia. It has been owned by Dionex since 1991.
