Hrdlořezy is a municipality and village in Mladá Boleslav District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 700 inhabitants.
The name consists of the Czech words hrdlo ('throat') and řezat ('cut'), and hrdlořez means 'cut-throat'. Hrdlořezy was a derisive name for a village of brawlers.[2]
