Zlonín is a municipality and village in Prague-East District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,300 inhabitants. As of 2024, the municipality has the youngest population in the country.

Zlonín is located about 12km (07miles) north of Prague. It lies in a flat agricultural landscape of the Central Elbe Table. The brook Zlonínský potok flows through the municipality.

From 1578 until the establishment of a sovereign municipality in the mid-19th century, Zlonín belonged to the Dejvice estate and shared its owners.[3]
