Chemnitz [kʰɛmnɪʦ]? is een kreisfreie Stadt in het westen van de Duitse deelstaat Saksen. De stad is na Leipzig en Dresden de derde stad in grootte in Saksen. De stad telt 244.401 inwoners (31 december 2020) op een oppervlakte van 220,85 km².Van 1953 tot 1990 heette de stad Karl-Marx-Stadt. De stad ligt in een uitloper van het Ertsgebergte, aan een gelijknamige rivier, die ten noorden van Chemnitz uitmondt in de Zwickauer Mulde. De naam van de rivier, en dus ook van de stad, is van Slavische oorsprong. Hij is afgeleid van Oppersorbisch Kamenica „steenbeek“ (van kamjeń „steen“).Het klimaat is een overgang tussen zeeklimaat en continentaal klimaat. Vooral in juni valt in de stad meer regen dan in de omgeving, omdat Chemnitz aan de loefzijde van het Ertsgebergte ligt en daardoor relatief veel opvangt.
