Blučina is a municipality and village in Brno-Country District in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,300 inhabitants.

The name is derived from the old Czech word bluk, which meant "the roar of water".

Blučina is located about 15 kilometres (9 mi) south of Brno. It lies in the Dyje–Svratka Valley. The highest point is the hill Výhon at 355 m (1,165 ft) above sea level. The Litava River flows through the municipality.

The first written mention of Blučina is in a deed of King Wenceslaus I from 1240. The document where Blučina is mentioned in the years 1045–1048 is a forgery. In 1494, the village was promoted to a market town, but it later lost the title.
