Halsbrücke is a municipality and village in the district of Mittelsachsen, in Saxony, Germany.

Within the Halsbrücke municipality lie the following districts: Halsbrücke was originally founded in 1349 as an estate named czu dem Halse, belonging to the Altzella monastery in Nossen.

The name referred to a ridge on the bend of the river which was said to have a "neck"-like formation (German Hals).

[3] The bridge (German Brücke) was included in later variations of the municipality's name, namely czu der brucken am Hals (1441), an der Halßbrücken (1654), and Halßbrücke (1706).

While the municipality today stretches both sides of the river, Halsbrücke was formerly divided between two administrative regions.
