Krásná Lípa (Czech pronunciation: [ˈkraːsnaː ˈliːpa]; German: Schönlinde) is a town in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic. It has around 3,500 inhabitants.

In 1361, a settlement Schönlinde was recorded on the Tollenstein (Tolštejn). Later, about 30 families from Upper Franconia colonized the place. In 1654 the community had 36 farm houses and 60 craftsman houses, mainly linen weavers. John Barnes, an English expert on textile industry, was hired in 1731 to found a spinning factory in the town.
