Zbůch (German: Zwug) is a municipality and village in Plzeň-North District in the Plzeň Region of the Czech Republic.

However, the settlement is thought to have its roots in prehistoric times, as evidenced by numerous archeological finds in the area dating from the Bronze Age.

During the Middle Ages, the area was established farmyard that was owned by a number of secular feudal lords, such as Velek of Zbůch or Votík of Chotěšovice during the 15th century.

The last feudal lords, whose family farmed Zbůch until the first land reform, built a large manor house on the northern outskirts of the village.

[4] By the end of the 19th century, Zbůch was a small agricultural village connected to the nearby parish of Úhercům.

By the mid-1920s, the village had built a town hall with a memorial statue of president Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk out front.

[4] In October 1938, following the Munich Agreement, Zbůch was ceded to the Nazi Germany, along with other lands in the Sudetenland region.

Many Czech miners were forced into early retirement to accommodate large numbers of French and later Russian prisoners of war which were interned here.

In the period after February 1948, the communist government took state ownership of the mine and collectivized the local peasant labor force.

The pub near the railway station was built to house a cultural hall, which became the largest facility of its kind in the Plzeň-North District.

In recent times the northern and eastern side of the village square was demolished and planning for the site includes a small mall.

The site has two deep mining pits (800 and 720 m) of exceptional quality coal, used in the manufacturing of gas and coke, and also in the chemical industry.
