Čimhová (Hungarian: Csimhova, Polish: Czymhowa) is a village and municipality in Tvrdošín District in the Žilina Region of the northern Slovakia.

It has over 600 inhabitants and lies on the banks of Oravica river, in the Orava Basin, near the Slovak-Polish border.

The house of Platthy received the area as a donation from the king Albert II of Germany, as a recognition for their service in fighting against the Ottomans.

The name 'Chemechowá' (original from 1428) is derived from the flowering plant bird cherry, 'čremcha' (in Slovak) or 'chemecha' (in the local dialect).

This conflict of nobility has been a cause of many historical events which ultimately gave shape to the realities present in the contemporary towns and villages located in Orava Basin.
