Jindřichovice (German: Heinrichsgrün) is a village and municipality in Sokolov District in the Karlovy Vary Region of the Czech Republic.

Until 1918, HEINRICHSGRÜN was part of the Austrian monarchy (Austria side after the compromise of 1867), in the GRASLITZ (Kraslice) district, one of the 94 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in Bohemia.

In 1938, it was occupied by the Nazi army as one of the municipalities in Sudetenland. The German-speaking population was expelled in 1945 (see the Beneš decrees) and replaced by Czech settlers.
