This is a list of cities and towns in Greenland as of 1 July 2025. In Greenland, two kinds of settled areas are distinguished: illoqarfik and nunaqarfik. The difference between the two decreased since the new administrative units were introduced in 2009, with the influence of previous municipality centres decreasing. Traditionally, the seat of each municipality was considered a by, whereas every other settlement in a municipality was a bygd. A bygd could have anything from one to about five hundred inhabitants. Many places have Danish names in addition to the Greenlandic names. The Danish name, when applicable, is shown.
