Bratronice is a municipality and village in Kladno District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,000 inhabitants.
The village of Dolní Bezděkov is an administrative part of Bratronice.
The name is derived from the personal name Bratroň, meaning "the village of Bratroň's people".[2]
