Tlučná is a municipality and village in Plzeň-North District in the Plzeň Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 3,400 inhabitants.

The name was derived from the Czech word tluč, which then probably meant 'barley' or other pounded grain.

Tlučná is located about 9 kilometres (6 mi) west of Plzeň. It lies in the Plasy Uplands. The highest point is at 405 m (1,329 ft) above sea level. The stream of Vejprnický potok flows through the town.

The first written mention of Tlučná is from 1115, when Duke Vladislaus I donated the village to the monastery in Kladruby.
