Template:Geobox Červený Kostelec (Czech pronunciation: [ˈtʃɛrvɛniː ˈkostɛlɛts]; German: Rothkosteletz) is a town in the Náchod District, Hradec Králové Region of the Czech Republic. It has around 8,350 inhabitants.[1]

The villages of Bohdašín, Horní Kostelec, Lhota za Červeným Kostelcem, Mstětín, Olešnice and Stolín are administrative parts of Červený Kostelec.

The town's church is now painted red, representing the fire, which engulfed it in the 17th century, and gave the town its name, červený meaning red. On the south is an old quarry that had been turned into an army shooting range. The large forest of Žďár envelops the southern part of the town.
