Srbská Kamenice (German: Windisch Kamnitz) is a village in the Czech Republic, Ústí nad Labem Region. It was founded in early 11th century by Sorbs, refugees from Germany after a military campaign of Henry II. There is a baroque church from the 18th century and an open-air museum of Czechoslovak fortifications from 1938.

On 26 January 1972, Serbian stewardess Vesna Vulović was the only person on board to survive the crash of JAT Flight 367 which exploded at an altitude of 10,160 meters (33,000 ft) over the village. She visited the village again on the 30th anniversary in 2002.^{[citation needed]}
