Pavlovce nad Uhom (Romani: Pavlovcis, Hungarian: Pálóc) is a village and municipality in the Slovak district of Michalovce, which lies in the Eastern Slovak Kosice Region.
Roughly 19 km (12 mi) southeast of the town of Michalovce, Pavlovce sits, as its name indicates, on the south bank of the Uzh River (Slovak: Uh), about 8 km (5.0 mi) west of the border with Ukraine. The population of the village is around 4,500 inhabitants. Apart from the village itself, which predates medieval times, the municipality Pavlovce nad Uhom was established in 1960 through the merger of two separate municipalities – Pavlovce nad Uhom and Ťahyňa.
