Červená Voda (German: Mährisch Rothwasser) is a village in the Pardubice Region of the Czech Republic with a population of 3,264 (2006), is situated in a valley 19 km north-west from the city of Šumperk and belongs to the Okres Ústí nad Orlicí district.
Červená Voda is a long village, stretching along the banks of a contributing stream into River Březná. Its name derives from the iron ore bearing soil, which betimes coloured the stream red. Situated in the Králická brázda (English: Králíky Depression, between the mountain ranges of the Orlické hory (English: Eagle Mountains) and the Hanušovická vrchovina (English: Hanušovice Highlands), the community is located on the European water divide between three seas: the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and the Black Sea. Červená Voda is close to the historic border between Moravia and Bohemia. The municipality's hamlets of Dolní and Horní Orlice once belonged to Bohemia.
Through the village passes state road 11, which has a junction with state road 43 leading to Králíky inside the village.
Settlement of the Králíky area started after king Václav I. called German settlers for land reclamation. Červená Voda than was founded in 1397 and mentioned documentarily for the first time under the name Malé Heroltice in 1481, in the course of the sale of the lordship of Štíty (German: Schildberg). Throughout the Hussite War cultivation and foundations came to a halt. In 1562 the gaffer Georg Schürer erected a glass kiln. 1596 the new lord of Štíty and Northern Zábřeh (German: Hohenstadt), Ladislav Velen of Žerotína, granted to Dominik Schürer von Waldheim, son of Georg Schürer, the privilege to incorporate a glass factory in nearby Bílá Voda (German: Weißwasser). In progression he built an estate, joined by a brewery and farmyard in Mlýnice (German: Lenzdorf), which eventually became the climax point of the second wave of populating. The Thirty Years' War saw another period of devastation (1630, 1639).
