Załęska Hałda-Brynów (full name: Załęska Hałda-Brynów część zachodnia) is a district of Katowice, located in the western part of the city. It lies between the A4 motorway and the Kłodnica river, within the area of four historical parts of Katowice: Załęska Hałda, Brynów, Stara Ligota, and Katowicka Hałda.
Until the beginning of the 19th century, the present-day district was used for agriculture. From the 19th century, Załęska Hałda, Brynów, and Stara Ligota underwent significant industrial development, mainly in mining. Today, the district is both industrial and residential. Its main industrial facility is the Wujek Coal Mine (part of the Staszic-Wujek Coal Mine), which has operated since 1899. The district covers 6.54 km² and had a population of 17,207 at the end of 2007.
