This is a list of the largest cities in the Punjab region by population. The Punjab is a geographical region in South Asia now divided politically by Pakistan and India and is also administratively divided into provinces, states, and territories within both countries. This list deals exclusively with the areas within city administrative boundaries (city proper) as opposed to Urban Areas or Larger Urban Zones (metropolitan areas), which are generally larger in terms of population than the main city.
