Olomouc is located about {{convert|61|km}} northeast of [[Brno]] and {{convert|200|km|abbr=on}} southeast of [[Prague]]. It lies mostly in a flat fertile land of the [[Upper Morava Valley]]. The eastern spur of the municipal territory (the villages of Lošov, Radíkov and Svatý Kopeček) extends into the [[Nízký Jeseník]] range and includes the highest point of Olomouc, a hill at {{convert|444|m|ft|abbr=on}} above sea level. The [[Litovelské Pomoraví Protected Landscape Area]] extends into the territory of Olomouc in the north.

The [[Morava (river)|Morava]] River and the stream of Mlýnský potok, which is a branch of the Morava, flow through the city. The [[Bystřice (Morava)|Bystřice]] flows into the Morava at the city centre. The [[Oskava (river)|Oskava]] briefly forms the northern municipal border, before it joins the Morava.

Chomoutovské Lake, located in the northern tip of the municipal territory, was created by flooding a gravel quarry and has an area of {{cvt|85|ha}}. Together with the immediate surroundings, it is protected as a nature monument. The lake is an important stop for migratory birds and is home to one of the largest colonies of [[black-headed gull]]s and [[Mediterranean gull]]s in the country.<ref>{{cite web |title=Chomoutovské jezero u Olomouce|url=https://www.kudyznudy.cz/aktivity/chomoutovske-jezero-u-olomouce|publisher=CzechTourism|language=cs|access-date=2023-07-12}}</ref>
