The [[Departments of Benin|departments]] of [[Benin]] are subdivided into 77 [[commune (subnational entity)|communes]], which in turn are divided into arrondissements and finally into villages or city districts. Prior to 1999 provinces were broken down into 84 districts, titled either urban or rural.  Before independence, the six provinces were subdivided into [[Cercle (French colonial)|Cercle]]s, [[cantons]], préfectures and [[villages]] or [[town]]s.

The communes are listed below, by department:
