Tišnov is a Czech town in the South Moravia region, in the Brno district 22 km northwest of the city of the same name. It is located on the banks of the Svratka and Loučka rivers.

According to the 2010 census, its population was 8,704. History

The first mention made of Tišnov was in a document dated 1233 where the village was named Tušnovice. This information was found near the Porta Coeli convent, inaugurated three years earlier by Constancia of Hungary. The monastery was ruled by his two sons: Margrave Přemysl and Wenceslas I until 1782.

In 1416 King Wenceslas IV granted the population the right to organize an annual market. In 1428 the town was devastated during the Hussite Wars and continued in ruins until the Thirty Years' War when it was rebuilt. Later in 1869 it was incorporated into the district of Brno. In 1885 the town became connected by railway with Brno, the capital of the region, and twenty years later the line was extended to Havlíčkův Brod.

Until 1918 it was part of the Habsburg House.
