'''New Silesia''' ({{langx|de|Neuschlesien}} or ''Neu-Schlesien'') was a small [[Provinces of Prussia|province]] of the [[Kingdom of Prussia]] from 1795 to 1807, created after the [[Third Partition of Poland]]. It was located northwest of [[Kraków]] and southeast of [[Częstochowa]], in the lands that had been part of the [[Duchy of Siewierz]] and the adjacent Polish historical province of [[Lesser Poland]] (the [[Kraków Voivodeship (14th century – 1795)|Kraków Voivodeship]]), including the towns of [[Żarki]], [[Pilica, Silesian Voivodeship|Pilica]], [[Będzin]], and [[Sławków]].

New Silesia had its capital at [[Siewierz]]. However, it was originally to be governed by the [[Province of Silesia|Silesian]] capital [[Wrocław|Breslau (Wrocław)]] and later largely administered by [[South Prussia]]. After the defeat of Prussia in the [[War of the Fourth Coalition]] in 1806, the province was dissolved and the territory was made part of the Napoleonic [[Duchy of Warsaw]] in the [[Treaties of Tilsit]] of 1807.
