The Zlíchov tunnel is a dug road tunnel in Prague 5. The tunnel is 195 meters long and was opened in October of 2002. It is part of the Prague City Ring Road, it connects to Dobříšská road in the north, which flows into the Mrázovka Tunnel, and in the south to Strakonická Street and the junction of the Barrandov Bridge.

The tunnel goes deeper from both sides, heading towards the middle. The train line to Beroun, Nádražní street, and the tram line to Barrandov run above the tunnel. It operates with the configuration of 2+2 lanes in each direction. In the future, The Radlická Radial should flow into the tunnel, and Dobříšská Street.

On June 1. 2008 the tunnel got flooded with rainwater after heavy rainfall, which caused a transportation collapse in Prague. The tunnel was closed from 6:25 PM until 7:30 PM the same day, only in the direction leaving the city center.
