Mittweida (German: [mɪtˈvaɪda] ⓘ) is a town in Saxony, Germany, in the Mittelsachsen district.

Embedded within the steep hills and valleys of the river and two smaller creeks, the town is green and picturesque.

During World War II, a subcamp of Flossenbürg concentration camp was located in Mittweida.

Of interest are the Gothic church from the 15/16th century, the old town, the historic and technical museums and the nearby Kriebstein castle.

Among its students were August Horch, Walter Bruch, Jørgen Skafte Rasmussen, and Gerhard Neumann.
