Służewiec (Polish: [swuˈʐɛ.vjɛt͡s]) is a neighbourhood, and a City Information System area, in Warsaw, Poland, within the Mokotów district. It is a mixed high-rise area with residential and office buildings, with a population estimated at around 31,000 in 2025. Its part forms a financial district, together with the nearby neighbourhood of Ksawerów, colloquially referred to as Mordor. It includes the headquarters of numerous domestic companies, and branches of many multinational corporations. The neighbourhood also features the Warszawa Służewiec railway station. The area is part of the western half of the district, known as the Upper Mokotów.
The oldest known records of Służewiec, then a village, date to 1378. It was incorporated into the city of Warsaw in 1938, and was destroyed in 1944, during the Second World War. The neighbourhood was re-developed as a major industrial district in the 1950s, known as Służewiec Przemysłowy (Industrial Służewiec), and in the 1990s, it transformed into the largest financial district in Poland, and remained as such until 2019. Afterwards, the rented office spaces in the area began to decline, as it converted into a residential district.
