Řež (Czech: [ˈr̝ɛʃ]) is a village and administrative part of Husinec in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic.

Řež is the site of a nuclear research centre[2] and a chemical factory.[3] In August 2002 there was a serious flood which damaged the site.

Řež has a railway connection by Prague - Kralupy nad Vltavou line. The stop is located on the opposite (left) bank of the Vltava River and is accessible by a pedestrian bridge.

On 19 June 2022 the highest ever temperature during the month of June in the Czech Republic was recorded here at 39.0 °C.[4]
