Lesná is a cadastral territory of Brno, Czech Republic, located in the northeastern part of the city. It has an area of 2.58 km2. The area of the today's Lesná, then still practically undeveloped, was annexed to Brno as part of the creation of Greater Brno in 1919, and since November 24, 1990 has been part of the city district of Brno-sever. Almost 16,000 people live here, which is about a third of the population of the district.
Although most of the district consists of housing estates (paneláks), there are also family houses. The housing estate here, which was built during the 60s and 70s of the 20th century, is known as the most urbanistically successful housing estate in Brno. Thanks to the local greenery, proximity to the forest and relatively good accessibility, this district ranks among the most attractive parts of Brno and is compared to the Finnish Tapiola district near Helsinki.
Neighboring cadastral territories are Sadová in the northwest, Soběšice in the north, Obřany in the east, Husovice in the southeast (with which Lesná is immediately connected), Černá Pole in the south and Královo Pole in the southwest.
