List of cities and municipalities in the Philippines

This is a complete list of cities and municipalities in the Philippines. The Philippines is administratively divided into 82 provinces (Filipino: lalawigan). These, together with the National Capital Region, are further subdivided into cities (lungsod) and municipalities (bayan).

Cities are classified under the Local Government Code of 1991 (Republic Act No. 7160) into three categories: highly urbanized cities, independent component cities, and component cities. Cities are governed by their own municipal charters in addition to the Local Government Code of 1991, which specifies their administrative structure and powers. They are given a bigger share of the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) compared to regular municipalities.

As of June 30, 2024, there are 149 cities (33 highly urbanized, 5 independent component, 111 component) and 1,493 municipalities encompassing the country. There are a total of 1,642 cities and municipalities in the Philippines.

Cities with provinces in italics indicate that the city is administered independently of the province with which they are traditionally grouped. Metro Manila (NCR) is not a province but is included for comparative purposes. Under Class,  Mun  indicates municipalities,  CC  component cities,  ICC  independent component cities, and  HUC  highly urbanized cities. Cells with thick borders mark official (de jure) provincial capitals; cities or municipalities marked with a dagger (†) are the province's largest settlement; a double dagger (‡) marks the country's largest city; and a yellow cell marks the national capital.
