This page contains a list of cities and towns in Poland, preceded by a table of major Polish cities. The table ranks cities by population based on data from the Central Statistical Office of Poland. Note that in the Polish system of administration there is no difference between a city and a town. A gazetteer is available to locate any town or settlement on a detailed map.
As of 1 January 2009 there are 897 towns in Poland. For lists of places which obtained or regained town status in the years since 1900, see Nowe miasta w Polsce in Polish Wikipedia.
