Židenice (German: Schimitz,[2] Hantec: Šimice) is a municipal part and cadastral territory in Brno, Czech Republic, almost entirely located on the left bank of the river Svitava.

Originally an independent municipality, it was annexed to Brno in 1919, and since November 24, 1990, it makes up most of the city district of Brno-Židenice, as well as the entirety of Brno-Vinohrady on the eastern side.

In the first half of the 1980s, the construction of the last panel housing estate in Brno, Vinohrady, began in the northeastern part of the Židenice cadastral territory, during which the entire colony of "Hamburg" was demolished.

The cadastre continues to the northeast through a narrowing edge of the plains, where first there is the ruderal zone of the former tailings pond and behind it the forest-steppe area of the southern slopes of Hády, also part of Velká Klajdovka.

At the very end of this tip there is a lookout point, an inn and the Velká Klajdovka farm (generally considered by the public to be part of the adjacent Lišné).

In the north, the border runs through the gardening settlement under Akátky, then along the northern edge of the Vinohrady housing estate and through an intersection directly to Pod Hády street.
