List of European Union cities proper by population density

This is a list of the European Union 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.

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

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 and in certain Parisian arrondissements.[1] This list, however, is of the average densities of cities.
