Lhota is a village and municipal part of Vyškov, a town in Vyškov District of the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 370 inhabitants.
It is located northwest of Vyškov and from Brno.
History Lhota and other villages with the same name were founded during the 13th and first half of the 14th centuries. The inhabitants of these villages were exempted from all wages for a certain period of time, i.e. a period (in Old Czech lhóta, meaning 'grace period') for cutting down the forest and turning it into fields.
During the German occupation in 1941, the inhabitants of 33 municipalities were evicted from the Drahany Highlands, including Lhota, only allowed to return after in 1945. Of the 129 homes, 25 were destroyed and 70 badly damaged.
The village was merged with Rychtářov in 1964, both of which then became part of Vyškov in 1986.
