Podgórze Duchackie is one of 18 districts of Kraków, located in the southern part of the city. The name Podgórze Duchackie comes from two villages that are now parts of the district.

In the Polish system of local administration, a dzielnica is an administrative subdivision or quarter of a city or town. A dzielnica may have its own elected council, and those of Warsaw each have their own mayor (burmistrz). Like the osiedle and sołectwo, a dzielnica is an auxiliary unit of a gmina. These units are created by decision of the gmina council, and do not have legal personality in their own right.
