Prądnik Biały is one of 18 districts of Kraków, located in the northwest part of the city. The name Prądnik Biały comes from a village of same name that is now a part 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.
