The Olšava is a river in the Czech Republic, a left tributary of the Morava River. It flows through the Zlín Region. It is long.
==Etymology== The origin of the name is unclear. If the name is of Slavic origin, it is most likely derived from the Czech word olše (i.e. 'alder'), meaning "river flowing between alders". However, the name may be of pre-Slavic origin. The oldest written document of the river is from 1078, when the name was written as Olsaua.
