Kounice (German: Kaunitz) is a market town in Nymburk District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic.

The stream of Kounický potok originates here and flows through the market town.

The House of Liechtenstein owned the village from 1772 until the establishment of an independent municipality.

One of the main landmarks of Kounice is the Church of Saint James the Great.

After it was destroyed by fire in 1990, only necessary repairs were carried out and the castle has been falling into disrepair ever since.
