Hieronder staan de stedelijke gebieden in de wereld gerangschikt naar de meest bevolkte.
Stedelijk gebied (of stedelijke agglomeratie) verwijst naar de bevolking binnen de contouren van een aaneengesloten gebied dat bewoond wordt op stedelijk dichtheidsniveau, doorgaans bestaande uit een stad en de omliggende voorsteden.
Een alternatieve lijst zou een andere definitie van "stad" kunnen hanteren en steden zelf rangschikken, dit zijn steden met een administratief erkende stedelijke status. Deze kunnen zich echter uitstrekken buiten het grootstedelijk gebied en landelijke gebieden omvatten.
