Kőbánya-Kertváros (literally "Quarry-Garden suburb") is a section of Budapest, Hungary, which has a largely working class population, most of whom are ethnic Hungarians. As in most Budapest neighborhoods, there is a small ethnically Roma (Gipsy) presence to be found, scattered all over Pest side of the city. There is also smaller groups of immigrants, notably Chinese.

The garden suburb was established in 1934, improved in the 1980s. In the 1930s and 1940s it called Gömbös-telep (lit. Gömbös Estate, after Gyula Gömbös), later Városszéli telep (lit. "Estate by the city boundary").
