Gmina Węgierska Górka, Administrative district in Żywiec County, Poland.

Gmina Węgierska Górka covers 77 square kilometers in southern Poland, encompassing villages such as Cięcina, Cisiec, Węgierska Górka, and Żabnica within its territory.

The area gained prominence in 1838 when Adam Wielopolski established ironworks, which grew into one of the largest industrial enterprises in the Galicia region.

The district maintains strong connections with Hungarian communities through twinning agreements with Lengyeltóti and Pákozd municipalities in Hungary.

The administrative center operates from Węgierska Górka village, located 12 kilometers southwest of Żywiec and 73 kilometers south of Katowice.

The district implements the Rozświetlamy Polskę program, focusing on the systematic replacement of lighting fixtures to enhance energy efficiency throughout the area.
