Plagwitz () is a western locality of Leipzig in Saxony, Germany. It is part of the borough Südwest.
The former village in Saxony, located west of Leipzig's city center, was granted the status of a rural municipality in 1839 and was attached to the city of Leipzig in 1891. It was an industrial district during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries – the densest intra-urban industrial site in Europe – until German reunification. After deindustrialization, it developed at the turn of the millennium into a place dedicated to culture and creative industries and a popular residential area.
