Markkleeberg is an affluent[3][4] suburb of Leipzig, located in the Leipzig district of the Free State of Saxony, Germany. The river Pleiße runs through the city, which borders Leipzig to the north and to the west.

Markkleeberg is known to be the entry point[5] to a region of recultivated open-cast mining lakes south of Leipzig dubbed the Leipziger Neuseenland.
