{{Philippine city population tables}}

Ang sumusunod ay isang talaan ng '''kinartang mga lungsod sa Pilipinas'''. Nakauri ang [[mga lungsod ng Pilipinas]] sa tatlong mga pangkat: Mataas na Urbanisadong mga Lungsod (''Highly Urbanized Cities''; {{font|text=HUC|font=Courier New|size=1.00em}}), Malayang Nakapaloob na mga Lungsod (''Independent Component Cities''; {{font|text=ICC|font=Courier New|size=1.00em}}), at Nakapaloob na mga Lungsod (''Component Cities''; {{font|text=CC|font=Courier New|size=1.00em}}).

== Mga uri ==
Ang ''Mataas na Urbanisadong mga Lungsod'' ay mga yunit ng lokal na pamahalaan na hiwalay sa mga lalawigan at may populasyong hindi bababa sa 200,000 at taunang kita na hindi bababa sa {{₱|link=yes}} 50 milyon (sa halagang umiiral noong 1991). Ang ''Malayang Nakapaloob na mga Lungsod'' ay mga lungsod sa labas ng pamamahala ng mga lalawigan (bagamat ang ilan ay pinapahintulutang lumahok sa halalan ng mga opisyal ng pamahalaan) na hindi pa natatamo ang katayuang 'mataas na urbanisado', habang ang ''Nakapaloob na mga Lungsod'' ay yaong nasa pamamahala ng mga lalwigan.<ref name="NSCBGovPH-CityClass" /> Bilang karagdagan, bawat lungsod ay ibinukod sa anim na mga kaurian sa kita ayon sa kita sa loob ng apat na taong panahon. Halimbawa, ang Unang Klaseng mga lungsod ay may kitang hindi bababa sa {{₱}} 400 milyon, habang ang Ika-anim na Klaseng mga lungsod ay may kitang hindi hihigit sa {{₱}} 80 milyon sa loob ng apat na taon.

Bawat lungsod ay pinamamahala sa kapuwa ''Kodigo ng Lokal na Pamahalaan ng 1991''<ref name="RA07160-LawPhilNet" /> at ang sariling [[kartang munisipal]] ng lungsod, sa ilalim ng mga batas ng Republika ng Pilipinas.
