This list ranks metropolitan areas in Europe by their population according to three different sources; it includes metropolitan areas that have a population of over 1 million.

Sources

List includes metropolitan areas according only to the studies of ESPON, Eurostat, and OECD. For this reason some metropolitan areas, like the Italian Genoa Metropolitan Area (with a population of 1,510,781 as of 2010<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>) or the Ukrainian Kryvyi Rih metropolitan area (with a population of 1,170,953 as of 2019<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}Template:In lang</ref>), are not included in this list, with data by other statistic survey institutes.

Population figures correspond to the populations of Functional urban areas (FUA). The concept of a functional urban area defines a metropolitan area as a core urban area defined morphologically on the basis of population density, plus the surrounding labour pool defined on the basis of commuting. Figures in the first two population columns use a harmonised definition of a Functional urban area developed jointly in 2011, with delimitation basing on the DEGURBA method.<ref>Template:Cite report</ref><ref name="luz">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Further information on how the areas are defined can be found in the source documents. These figures should be seen as an interpretation, not as conclusive fact.
