Příbram (; , Przibram, or Pribram, in the time of the German occupation (1939–1945) Pibrans) is a town in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 32,000 inhabitants. It is well known for its mining history, and more recently, its new venture into economic restructuring.

The town is the third-largest in the Central Bohemian Region (behind Kladno and Mladá Boleslav), and is a natural administrative and cultural centre of the south-western part of the region, although it also tends to be largely influenced by the economy and lifestyle of Prague.

The Svatá Hora ("Holy Mount") pilgrimage site is located just above the town, while the Mining Museum Příbram, including the communist labor camp Vojna memorial, is another tourism attraction.
