Leipzig is one of the three former Direktionsbezirke of Saxony, Germany, located in the north-west of the state.

The territory of Regierungsbezirk Leipzig was slightly larger, and included the former district of Döbeln.

With the exception of the districts Altenburg and Schmölln, the territory of the Regierungsbezirk corresponded to that of the former Bezirk Leipzig which existed from 1952 to 1990.

A Regierungsbezirk Leipzig existed already from 1939 to 1943, when the former Kreishauptmannschaften in Saxony were renamed following the custom in Prussia.
