Map of the cities in North Macedonia.

This is a list of cities and towns in North Macedonia. There are 34 cities and towns in North Macedonia. In Macedonian, every city or town, regardless of size, is called grad (град, pl. gradovi, градови), but a smaller one can also be called gratče (гратче, pl. гратчиња, gratčinja), a diminutive of grad. Only five cities in the country have a population of more than 50,000 inhabitants. The capital, Skopje, and its metropolitan area are home to about 33% of the country's total population. The 2002 census showed that the majority of the population, 59.5%, lived in urban areas.
