Haut-Katanga (French for "Upper Katanga") is one of the 21 provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo created in the 2015 repartitioning. Haut-Katanga, Haut-Lomami, Lualaba, and Tanganyika provinces are the result of the dismemberment of the former Katanga province.{{cite news |title=Le Katanga officiellement démembré en quatre nouvelles provinces |url=https://www.radiookapi.net/actualite/2015/07/16/le-katanga-officiellement-demembre-en-quatre-nouvelles-provinces |access-date=8 June 2020 |work=Radio Okapi |date=16 July 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150719010441/http://radiookapi.net/actualite/2015/07/16/le-katanga-officiellement-demembre-en-quatre-nouvelles-provinces/ |archive-date=19 July 2015 |url-status=live |language=fr}} Haut-Katanga was formed from the Haut-Katanga district and the independently administered cities of Likasi and Lubumbashi.

Along with Lualaba, Haut-Katanga is in the Copperbelt of Central Africa. The DRC is only behind Chile, Peru, and the PRC in largest amount of copper produced globally.
