Krhanice is a municipality and village in Benešov District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,100 inhabitants.
The villages of Dolní Požáry and Prosečnice are administrative parts of Krhanice.

The first written mention of Krhanice is from 1228, when the Ostrov Monastery in Davle owned half of the village. The second part probably belonged to the Zbořený Kostelec estate.[2]
