This article is referencing as a list all lawfully recognized municipalities of Turkmenistan. Since 19 September 2025, there are 1,822 municipalities in Turkmenistan, including seven cities with district status, 44 cities, 71 towns, 1,692 villages, and the capital city, AÃ Âgabat.
In Turkmenistan, any administrative division, including municipalities, is designated by law and may be changed by decree by the Assembly of Turkmenistan, as stated by the 23rd article of the constitution. They all are referenced in a list rarely shared by the Turkmen government, yet available for consultation through the 2022 census.
Criticized by external observers, the census figures should be taken very carefully as they seem to overestimate the actual population of the country.
Municipalities listed here are sorted by their administrative division, then by alphabetical order.
Municipalities annotated with C are cities, T are towns, and G are villages holding the seat of a rural council.
Here are shorter lists for more selective data.
