Velké Přítočno is a municipality and village in Kladno District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,100 inhabitants.
Etymology The initial name of the village was Přietočeň. The name was derived from the Czech word přítok ('tributary'), referring to a court located above the stream Zákolanský potok, which is a tributary of the Elbe River. From 1397 at the latest, two villages were distinguished: Velké Přítočno and Malé Přítočno ('great Přítočno' and 'small Přítočno').
