A city with powiat rights (Polish: miasto na prawach powiatu) is a designation in Poland denoting 66 of the 107 cities (the urban gminas which are governed by a city mayor or prezydent miasta) which exercise also the powers and duties of a county (Polish: powiat), thus being an independent city. They have roughly the same status as former county boroughs in the United Kingdom.
