{{Politics of Andorra}}

[[Andorra]] consists of seven communities known as parishes<ref>{{cite web |title=Constitution of the Principality of Andorra |url=https://www.apda.ad/assets/pdf/constitucio_en.pdf |website=apda.ad |access-date=23 November 2024 |page=11}}</ref> ({{langx|ca|'''parròquies'''}}, singular{{spaced ndash}}parròquia). There were six parishes until 1978, when the seventh, [[Escaldes–Engordany]], was created.

==Overview==
[[Andorra la Vella]] is the capital of Andorra. Some parishes have a further territorial subdivision; [[Ordino]], [[La Massana]] and [[Sant Julià de Lòria]] are subdivided into ''quarts'' (quarters), while [[Canillo]] is subdivided into 10 ''veïnats'' (neighborhoods). Those mostly coincide with [[village]]s, which are found in all parishes.

Each parish has its own elected mayor who is the nominal head of the local government known as a ''comú'' in Catalan.
