Kelenföld (German: Krenfeld) is a neighborhood in Budapest, Hungary. It belongs to Újbuda, and located in the southern part of Buda. The large Kelenföld housing estate was built between 1967 and 1983 from pre-fabricated concrete blocks. The older streets around Bocskai út were mainly built in the first half of the 20th century. The Kelenföld Railway Station is an important transport hub of Buda.

Kelenföld is located on the plain of southern Buda, next to the river Danube. The borders of Kelenföld are: Villányi út from Budaörsi út - Móricz Zsigmond körtér (southwestern side) - Fehérvári út - Hegyeshalom railway line - Danube - Kondorosi út - Solt utca - Kelenvölgyi határsor - Hegyeshalom railway line - underground passage in Nagyszőlős utca - Budaörsi út

The area was called Krenfeld in the 18th century meaning "Horseradish Meadows" (cf. German: Kren, Krenn) in German. It was named Kelenföld in 1847 referring to Kelen, an early Hungarian chieftain in the 9th century.

Budapest-Déli station (Hungarian: Budapest-Déli pályaudvar, Budapest south station) known to locals and foreigners alike simply as the Déli is one of the three main railway stations in Budapest, Hungary.

Located in the 1st District (Várkerület) of Budapest, the station is located in Buda, and primarily serves towns and cities in Transdanubia. The station was first opened in 1861 on the line towards Rijeka (then known as Fiume and part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire) on the Adriatic Sea. Significant damage to the station occurred in the Second World War, and the modern façade of the railway station (the only modern building in all of Budapest's major rail terminals) was eventually completed in 1975.

The station is a major transport hub for the city, with BKV trams and buses serving adjoining districts. A metro station (opened in 1972) is located underneath the terminal building, being the western terminus of the M2 (East-West) line of the Budapest Metro.

Buda comprises about one-third of Budapest's complete territory and is mostly wooded and hilly. Notable landmarks include the Buda Castle and the Citadella. The Hungarian president's residence, Sándor Palace, is also in Buda.

While Pest was mostly Hungarian in the 15th century, Buda had a German majority, however according to the Hungarian Royal Treasury, it had a Hungarian majority with a sizeable German minority in 1495. Buda became part of Ottoman ruled central-Hungary from 1541 to 1686. It was known as Budin Eyalet during the Ottoman era. Ottoman Empire settled Serbian settlers in the nearby areas of the city. The original Christian citizens (Germans and Hungarians) of the city fled.
