The Svitávka (German: Zwittebach) is a river in Bohemia (Czech Republic) and Saxony (Germany). It is a right tributary of the Ploučnice, which it joins near Zákupy. Its source is in the Zittau Mountains, near Jonsdorf. After about 1 km (0.6 mi) it crosses the Czech border and flows further south, through Mařenice, Kunratice u Cvikova, Velenice and Zákupy.
