List of cities in Mexico

Not to be confused with Municipalities of Mexico.

This is a list of the Top 100 cities in Mexico by fixed population, according to the 2020 Mexican National Census.[1]

According to Mexico's National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), a locality is "any place settled with one or more dwellings, which may or may not be inhabited, and which is known by a name given by law or tradition".[2] Urban localities are those with more than 2,500 residents, which can be designated as cities, villages or towns according to the laws of each state. The National Urban System, compiled by the National Population Council (CONAPO) in 2018, identifies 401 urban localities in Mexico with more than 15,000 residents as "cities".[3] Mexican localities are contained within the higher-level administrative division of municipalities.

This list does not consider the entire population of metropolitan areas and is limited by political boundaries within each municipality or state. Popular notions of city population are not based on official city boundaries, but on metropolitan areas. For population data reflecting common usage, see Metropolitan areas of Mexico.
