The following is a list of the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the Americas.[1] Official definitions of metropolitan area based on the concept of a single urban core and its immediate surroundings are used where available. For cities in countries that do not have official metropolitan area definitions, the urban agglomeration concept is used instead.
