Cities in Mexico

This is a list of the top 100 cities in Mexico by fixed population, according to the 2020 Mexican National Census.<ref name="census2020">Template:Cite web</ref>

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".<ref name="locality">Template:Cite web</ref> 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".<ref name="sistemaurbano">Template:Cite book</ref> Most localities defined by INEGI are contained within a single municipality, although exceptions such as Naucalpan and Veracruz exist.

For a list of metropolitan areas defined by CONAPO, many of which comprise more than one urban locality according to INEGI's definitions, see Metropolitan areas of Mexico.
