Kravaře (Czech pronunciation: [ˈkravar̝ɛ]; German: Deutsch Krawarn) is a town in Silesia in the Czech Republic. It has 6,650 inhabitants. It is located between Ostrava (20 kilometres (12 mi) away) and Opava (10 kilometres (6.2 mi) away). It is part of the Hlučínsko micro-region.
The first historical record of Kravaře is from 1224. For centuries Kravaře was only a village; it gained town status in 1960.
Being located in the multi-ethnic Hlučín Region of Czech Silesia, Kravaře was a notable exception to the mass Expulsion of the Germans from Czechoslovakia following World War II, retaining a sizeable ethnic German community. As of 2006[update], ethnic Germans were a majority of the town's inhabitants, one of them being its mayor.
There is an ice-hockey venue Buly Aréna, which was opened in 2003. The town's football team is SK Kravaře.
