 Horní Žukov (help·info) (Polish: Żuków Górny (info), German: Ober Zukau) is a village in Karviná District, Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic. It was a separate municipality but became administratively a part of Český Těšín in 1975. It has a population of 719 (2005).[1]

The village of Žukov was first mentioned in the document of Pope Gregory IX issued for Benedictine abbey in Tyniec in 1229 as Zukow.[2] Politically it belonged then to the Duchy of Opole and Racibórz, and since 1290 to the Duchy of Teschen. It was also a property of Benedictine monastery in Orłowa founded around 1268. Probably because of financial problems the Benedictines sold part of the village, which later became known as Horní Žukov.
