Boršice (in 1960–1996 Boršice u Buchlovic) is a municipality and village in Uherské Hradiště District in the Zlín Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 2,200 inhabitants.
The name is derived from the personal name Boreš, meaning "the village of Boreš's people".[2]
Boršice is located about 8km (05miles) west of Uherské Hradiště and 28km (17miles) southwest of Zlín. It lies mostly in the Kyjov Hills, only a small part of the municipal territory in the northwest extends into the Chřiby range and a small part in the southeast extends into the Lower Morava Valley.

From 1960 to 1996, the village was named Boršice u Buchlovic to distinguish it from Boršice u Blatnice. On 1 January 1997, the name changed back to Boršice.[2]
