List of European Union cities proper by population density

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

This is a list of the European cities with the highest population density. The population, population density, and land area for the cities listed are based on the entire city proper, the defined boundary or border of a city or the city limits of the city. The population density of the cities listed is based on the average number of people living per square mile or per square kilometer. This list does not refer to the population, population density, or land area of the greater metropolitan area or urban area and also does not target a particular city district of any of the cities listed.

Of course there exist parts of every city which are denser than the average. It has been noted that especially dense sections of cities exist in the suburbs of Barcelona, in certain Parisian arrondissements and in Inner London.[1] This list, however, is of the average densities of cities.

Given that the status of the UK within the EU is in a state of flux, its top 4 most densely populated cities are counted separately within the list.
