Lubliniec (, Silesian: ''Lublini'c, ) is a town in southern Poland with 23,245 inhabitants (2024). It is the capital of Lubliniec County, part of Silesian Voivodeship. Historically part of Upper Silesia.

==Geography== Lubliniec is situated in the north of the historic Upper Silesia region at the rim of the Upper Silesian Industrial Region, about northwest of Katowice. It is an important rail hub, with two major lines crossing there – east-west (from Częstochowa to Opole) and south–north (from Katowice to Poznań) – and a site of light and chemical industry. The surrounding area is characterized by extended forests (Lasy Lublinieckie), including the Upper Liswarta Forests Landscape Park north of the town.
