There are '''eighty-one [[Suburbs and localities (Australia)|suburbs and localities]] in the [[City of Gold Coast]]''', a [[Local government areas of Queensland|local government area]] in [[Queensland]], Australia. The local government area has been amended several times since its creation in 1948, most dramatically by its amalgamation in 1994 with the [[Shire of Albert]], and losing a section centred on [[Beenleigh, Queensland|Beenleigh]] north of the [[Albert River (Queensland)|Albert River]] to [[Logan City]] in March 2008.

Fifty-two are [[gazette]]d as [[Suburbs and localities (Australia)|suburbs]] and twenty-nine as [[Suburbs and localities (Australia)|localities]]. Many suburbs have been established on reclaimed land including saltmarshes, mangroves and tidal flats. Some of these suburbs have developed extensive canal waterways.<ref name="pftgc">{{cite book |title=The Gold Coast Transformed: From Wilderness to Urban Ecosystem |chapter=Marine environments on the Gold Coast: out with the old, in with the new |last=McPhee|first=D. |editor1-first=Tor |editor1-last=Hundloe |editor2-first=Bridgette  |editor2-last=McDougall |editor3-first=Craig |editor3-last=Page |year=2015 |publisher=Csiro Publishing |isbn=978-1-4863-0330-4 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Vr4qBwAAQBAJ |access-date=7 March 2016}}</ref> There are many [[List of shopping centres in Australia#Gold Coast|shopping centres on the Gold Coast]].
