Toužetín is a small rural municipality in the Louny District of the Ústí nad Labem Region in northwestern Czechia, with a population of around 260 residents.

First mentioned in historical records in 1227, it lies in the traditional Bohemian countryside between Prague and the city of Louny. The village is best known for its early Baroque château, built in 1697–1698 for the Schwarzenberg family on the site of an older fortified manor.

Although the château is not generally open to the public, it remains an important local landmark and a notable example of historic estate architecture. Toužetín also includes the villages of Donín and Sulec and features several reminders of its long history, including a preserved windmill in Donín and monuments connected to events of the Seven Years’ War and the Napoleonic era.
