Moravice (German: Mohra) is a river in the Czech Republic, the right tributary of the Opava River. It originates in the Hrubý Jeseník mountain range at the elevation of 1,135 m and flows for 100.5 km south-eastward. Near Opava it enters the Opava River. The river partially forms the historical border between Moravia and Silesia.
