Bozkov is a municipality and village in Semily District in the Liberec Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 600 inhabitants. It is known for the Bozkovské Dolomite Caves.

==Etymology== The initial name of the village was most likely Boskov and the name was derived from the personal name Bosek, meaning "Bosek's (court)". Perhaps due to a clerical error, the name was corrupted to Bozkov.
