D52 motorway (Czech: dálnice D52) is a motorway in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic, currently leading from Modřice, about 7 km (4.3 mi) south of Brno, to Pohořelice, parallel to the D2 motorway. It forms part of the European road E461.

Sections of the motorway:

From Pohořelice the highway 52 runs further southwards to the border with Austria at Mikulov. According to a 2009 treaty between the Czech Republic and Austria, it is to be completed as motorway and continuous connection between Brno and the Austrian A5 North Autobahn at Drasenhofen, leading to Vienna.^[2] Within the agglomeration of Brno plans for a new route intend to relocate the D52 running from the Rajhrad junction northwestwards bypassing the city centre to reach the Highway D1 and the Expressway R43 at Troubsko.^[3]

Parts of the motorway were built on sections of the former Strecke 88 Autobahn constructed between 1939 and 1942 during the German occupation of Czechoslovakia as part of a connection between Breslau (Wrocław) and Vienna, colloquially called Hitlerova dálnice ("Hitler's motorway").^{[citation needed]}

Prior to year 2016, this highway was categorised as Expressway R52 (Czech: rychlostní silnice R52).
