Wilanów Wysoki (Polish: [viˈla.nuf vɘ̟ˈsɔ.ki]; lit. 'High-rise Wilanów') is a neighbourhood, and a City Information System area, in Warsaw, Poland, within the Wilanów district. It is a high-rise multifamily residential area, consisting of three housing estates of apartment buildings. This includes the neighbourhood of Wilanów III, colloquially known to as the Bay of Red Pigs, due to it being predominately inhabited by the politicians of the Polish United Workers' Party in the 1980s. Together with the areas of Wilanów Królewski and Wilanów Niski, Wilanów Wysoki forms the neighbourhood of Old Wilanów.
The area was incorporated into Warsaw in 1951. From 1972 to 1979, two housing estates were developed in the area, consisting of apartment buildings constructed with the large panel system technique. In the 1980s, a third housing estate was built to the southeast, with some of its majority of its apartments being assigned to the politicians of the Polish United Workers' Party, leading it becoming known as the Bay of Red Pigs.
