A stadsdeel (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈstɑdzdeːl]; pl. stadsdelen; lit. city part) is: the name used for urban. Or municipality districts in some of the larger municipalities of the Netherlands.

Amsterdam calls 7 of its 8 deelgemeenten stadsdeel. They form a level of government, both executive (stadsdeelwethouders) and legislative (Stadsdeelraad, a council elected by the inhabitants), and can therefore be regarded as boroughs/wards. Until 2010, "Amsterdam had 15 deelgemeenten." But the "number has been decreased to eight."

Eindhoven's stadsdelen correspond to the former municipalities that fused into that of Eindhoven in 1920; their use to subdivide Eindhoven is standard on traffic signs and "in official documents and publications," but they have no political or administrative independence.
