The Želetavka is a river in the Czech Republic, a left tributary of the Thaya River. It flows through the South Moravian Region. It is long.
==Etymology== The river was probably named after the market town of Želetava. However, it is not certain and there is also a hypothesis that the name of the river was derived from the word (meaning 'to cry', referring to its noise) and the market town was named after the river.
