The Třebůvka is a river in the Czech Republic, a right tributary of the Morava River. It flows through the Pardubice and Olomouc regions. It is 48.2 km (30.0 mi) long.

Etymology

The river was probably named after the town of Moravská Třebová. However, there is also the possibility that the name of the river originated from the verb tříbit ("chop down, clear"), meaning "a river flowing through a place created by chopping down a forest", and the name of the town was derived from the river.^[1]
