Chemnitz is one of the three Direktionsbezirke of the Free State of Saxony, Germany, located in the south-west of the state. It coincides with the Planungsregion Südsachsen. The Direktionsbezirk Chemnitz came into existence on 1 August 2008, and succeeded the Regierungsbezirk Chemnitz. The territory of the Regierungsbezirk Chemnitz was slightly smaller, and excluded the former district of Döbeln.
