Kostelec nad Labem is a town in Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has cca 3,000 inhabitants.

The Town of Kostelec nad Labem is located on the left bank of the river Labe ( Elbe ), already settled in the stone and bronze age. In the rolling countryside on a small hill was a little church built dedicated to St. Martin. Beside the churche a small walled churchyard was established. The settlement of Kostelec nad Labem grow rapidly as willagers from further up the river Labe migrated downward in search of greater land. Due to the established church and the name of the river Labe the town became known as Kostelec nad Labem ( Church upon the Elbe ).
