The Old Town of Prague (Staré Město) is a medieval settlement in Prague, Czech Republic. It was separated from the outside by a semi-circular moat and wall connected to the Vltava River at both ends. The moat is now covered up by the streets (from north to south-west) Revoluční, Na Příkopě, and Národní—which remain the official boundary of the cadastral community of Old Town. It is now part of Prague.
Notable places in the Old Town include Old Town Square and Astronomical Clock. The Old Town is surrounded by the New Town of Prague. Across the river, Vltava, connected by the Charles Bridge, is the Lesser Town of Prague (Czech: Malá Strana). The former Jewish Town (Josefov) is located in the northwest corner of Old Town, heading towards the Vltava.

From its early existence, around the 9th century, Staré Město was laid out of settlements which appeared from the spacious marketplace on the bank of Vltava. Records dating back to 1100 AD indicate that a market was held on the marketplace every Saturday, and large military gatherings also took place there. Thanks to trade, the area's merchants became rich, and when King Wenceslaus I of Bohemia gave them township privileges, the Town of Prague (Město pražské) was formed. According to ancient records, the city had around 13 gates and a vast moat, providing strong defences.
In 1338, the councillors of the Old Town of Prague were granted permission by John of Luxembourg, King of Bohemia, to buy a magnificent patrician house from the family Volfin od Kamene (German: Wolfin von Stein) and rebuild it into their town hall – the still existing Old Town Hall. In the mid-14th century, the importance of the Old Town of Prague increased rapidly. The city prospered thanks to the development of trade and craftsmanship, and it became one of the most important Central European metropoles. Its brilliance and fame grew when the Bohemian king Charles IV became the Roman Emperor in 1355. Quite suddenly, the attention of all medieval Europe was turned towards Prague, the residence of the head of the Holy Roman Empire. The original town hall was extended by a mighty square stone tower, symbolising the power and pride of the town council of the first city in the Kingdom and Empire. 1364, when it was completed, the tower was the highest in the city.
The moat and wall were dismantled after Charles IV expanded the city in the 14th century and founded the New Town of Prague.

In 1348, the University of Prague was founded by Charles IV. Since the late 14th century, its main seat has been in Carolinum, located in the Old Town of Prague. In 1357, Charles IV commenced building a new bridge over the Vltava River connecting the Old Town with the Lesser Town of Prague. In 1391, the Bethlehem Chapel was built in the Old Town for sermons in Czech. The chapel played an essential role in the Bohemian Reformation and Hussite movement. In 1402–1413, the church reformer Jan Hus preached there.
In 1689, a great fire (the French fire) damaged many of the Old Town, including the Jewish Town. In 1784, the four towns of Prague were united into the Royal Capital City of Prague with a common administration.
