Chýnov is a town in Tábor District in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic.

The built-up area lies in the Křemešník Highlands, but the municipal territory extends into the Tábor Uplands in the west.

The highest point is the hill Ve Vrších at 602 m (1,975 ft) above sea level.

During the rule of bishop Arnošt of Pardubice, the local fortress was rebuilt into a castle, and ponds were established.

In the second half of the 15th century, Chýnov was bought by the Malovec of Malovice family.
