The table below lists the 100 largest municipalities in Canada by population, using data from the Canada 2001 census for census subdivisions.[1] Data collection for the 2006 census is underway and some of these rankings will change significantly. Several municipalities on the list, particularly in Quebec, have undergone amalgamations and demergers since the 2001 census.

This list includes only the population within a municipality's boundaries as defined at the time of the census. Many municipalities are part of a larger census metropolitan area or census agglomeration. For their ranking, see the list of the 100 largest metropolitan areas in Canada.

• Note these are only city proper populations; suburbs outside city limits are not included.
• Quebec municipal classifications such as "Ville" have not been translated, because they do not directly correspond to the meaning generally understood by their English translations. For example, Montreal (pop. 1,039,534) is a "Ville", but L'Ile Dorval (resident population: 0) is also a "Ville". Therefore, translating to "City" would be inaccurate.
