Plesná (German: Fleißen) is a town in the Cheb District of the Karlovy Vary Region of the Czech Republic. The first written mention of the town dates back to 1185, when the village is mentioned as the property of the Waldessian Monastery. In 1429, the village was burned down by Hussite troops, including the wooden church of St. George, which is mentioned here as early as 1400 (perhaps as a branch). After the Reformation, the village was of the Evangelical faith, and after the Battle of White Mountain, or rather after the Peace of Westphalia, Plesná was the only village in the Czech Kingdom (with the exception of Ašsko) allowed to remain Evangelical.

A group of mineral springs springs in the vicinity of Plesná. In 1956, hydrogeologists recorded thirteen springs, but twenty years later only five. The disappearance was mainly caused by land reclamation work. A plentiful spring with the local name Plesenská kyselka springs northeast of Plesná on the right bank of the Rokytník stream. On June 13, 2016, a research group from the Faculty of Science of Charles University in Prague found a radioactive spring of Radonka – the Břetislav spring south of Plesná.
The Plesná Exhibition dedicated to regional history is set up in the building of the former Tosta textile factory.
