Silesian Voivodeship, or Silesia Province (in Polish, województwo śląskie c-plwoje'wuctfo-'śląskJe), is a voivodeship, or province, in southern Poland, centering on the historic region known as Upper Silesia (Górny Śląsk). Its capital is Katowice.

It was created on January 1, 1999, out of the former Katowice, Częstochowa and Bielsko-Biała Voivodeships, pursuant to the Polish local government reforms adopted in 1998.
