Częstochowa Voivodeship (Polish: województwo częstochowskie) was a unit of administrative division and local government in Poland from 1975 to 1998, superseded mainly by Silesian Voivodeship, with a few gminas attached to surrounding voivodeships. Though most of the current territory of the former Częstochowa Voivodeship belongs to the Silesian Voivodeship, it historically is part of Lesser Poland, apart from western areas around Lubliniec and Olesno. The voivodeship's capital and largest city was Częstochowa.
Major cities and towns: (population in 1995):
- Częstochowa (259,500);
- Myszków (34,000);
- Lubliniec (26,900).
