Moravská Ostrava a Přívoz is a borough of the city of Ostrava, Czech Republic. Situated in the north-central part of the city, it comprises the city parts Moravská Ostrava, located in the southern part of the borough on the left bank of the Ostravice River, and Přívoz, located in the northern part on the right bank of the Oder River.
