The '''Radbuza''' ({{IPA-cs|ˈradbuza}}; {{Lang-de|Radbusa}}) is a 112&nbsp;km long river in the [[Czech Republic]], the right tributary of the [[Mže]]. Its source is situated at the foot of Lysá mountain (869 metres) near the village of Závist, near [[Domažlice]]. It passes through the villages and towns of [[Rybník]], Smolov, Bělá nad Radbuzou, [[Horšovský Týn]], [[Staňkov (Domažlice)|Staňkov]], [[Holýšov]], [[Stod (Czech Republic)|Stod]], Chotěšov, Zbůch and [[Dobřany (Plzeň-South District)|Dobřany]] before flowing into the river [[Mže]] in [[Plzeň]]. Its major tributaries are the Zubřina, Merklinka and [[Úhlava]]. The basin area of the Radbuza is 2,182&nbsp;km².
The name is derived from the personal Slavic name Radbud.
