The following is a list of cities and largest towns in Myanmar with populations above 5,000, according to UNFPA Myanmar.[1] The capitals of states and regions in Myanmar are bolded. In Myanmar, the definition of a city is ambiguous with the Burmese term မြို့ ('myo') being translated as any urban area. The General Administration Department only explicitly defines the three cities of Yangon, Mandalay and Naypyidaw.[2]
