List of largest cities in the Americas

This is a list of the 50 largest cities in the Americas by population residing within city limits based on the most recent official census results, estimates, or short-term projections available for all of these cities, which refer to mid-2020 populations. These figures do not reflect the population of the urban agglomeration or metropolitan area which typically do not coincide with the administrative boundaries of the city. For a list of the latter, see List of metropolitan areas in the Americas by population. These figures refer to mid-2020 populations with the following exceptions:

1. Mexican cities, whose figures derive from the 2015 Intercensal Survey conducted by INEGI with a reference date of March 15, 2020;
2. Chilean cities, whose figures derive from the 2017 Census projection by Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas;
3. Venezuelan cities, whose figures originate from the 2015 estimate given by the Instituto Nacional de Estadística, with a reference date of 2016.
