View source for List of largest cities in the Americas

{{short description|List of largest cities located in The Americas}}
This is a list of the 50 '''largest cities in the Americas''' by population residing [[city proper|within city limits]] based on the most recent official census results, estimates, or short-term projections available for all of these cities, which refer to mid-2020 populations. These figures do not reflect the population of the [[urban agglomeration]] or [[metropolitan area]] which typically do not coincide with the administrative boundaries of the city. For a list of the latter, see ''[[List of metropolitan areas in the Americas by population]]''. These figures refer to mid-2020 populations with the following exceptions:
