Volyně (Czech pronunciation: [ˈvolɪɲɛ]; German: Wolin) is a town in Strakonice District in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 3,000 inhabitants. The town is located on the Volyňka River in the Bohemian Forest Foothills.

Volyně became a town in 1299. The historic town centre is well preserved and is protected as an urban monument zone. The main landmark of Volyně is the Renaissance town hall.

Volyně consists of five municipal parts (in brackets population according to the 2021 census):

Černětice and Račí form an exclave of the municipal territory.

The origin of the name Volyně is unknown. There are hypotheses that it was derived from a Slavic tribe that came from the area of today's Ukraine.

Volyně is located about 10 kilometres (6 mi) south of Strakonice and 46 km (29 mi) northwest of České Budějovice. It lies in the Bohemian Forest Foothills. The highest point is a nameless hill at 769 m (2,523 ft) above sea level. The Volyňka River flows through the town.

According to archaeological findings, a Slavic settlement was built on the site of today's town in the 7th century. The first written mention of Volyně is from 1271, when a gord was documented here. In 1299, the settlement was promoted to a town. In 1327, the parish church and town fortifications were completed. In the 15th century, the Volyně waged a long-standing and ultimately victorious dispute with the royal town of Písek over the import of salt and the payment of tolls. The town's prosperity peaked before the Thirty Years' War.

During the war, Volyně suffered from looting, fires and passage of troops. After the war, despite several fires and plague epidemics, the town continued to grow and spread beyond the town walls. The face of the town changed significantly in the 19th century, when the square was paved and new multi-story buildings began to be built.
