{{Short description|Administrative divisions of Mexico City}}
[[Mexico City]] is one of the 32 federal entities of Mexico, alongside 31 [[states of Mexico|states]].

Mexico City is not organized into municipalities. Despite containing the word "City", it is not governed as a city but as a unit consisting of multiple subdivisions. As a result of the Political Reforms enacted in 2016, it is no longer designated as a federal district and became a city, a member entity of the Mexican federation, seat of the Powers of the Union and the capital of Mexico.<ref name="cdmx">{{cite web|url=https://data.consejeria.cdmx.gob.mx/images/leyes/estatutos/Constitucion_Politica_de_la_Ciudad_de_Mexico_3.pdf|title=Constitution of Mexico City|language=es|publisher=Gobierno de la Ciudad de México|access-date=2021-02-08}}</ref> Mexico City is divided in 16 territorial demarcations, ''alcaldías'', headed by a mayor and replacing the old boroughs, expanding their local government powers.<ref name="cdmx" /> The demarcations are considered as third-level territorial divisions for statistical data collection and cross-country comparisons.▼

Mexico City is divided into 16 [[Boroughs of Mexico|boroughs]], officially designated as {{lang|es|demarcaciones territoriales}} or colloquially known as {{lang|es|alcaldías}}{{fact|date=March 2024}} in Spanish. Headed by a mayor, these boroughs kept the same territory and name as the former{{when|date=March 2024}} {{lang|es|delegaciones}}, while expanding their local government powers.<ref name="cdmx" /> Boroughs are considered as third-level subdivisions for statistical [[data collection]] and cross-country comparisons. The traditional center of Mexico City comprises four boroughs:
The largest demarcation by population is [[Iztapalapa]], with 1,835,486 residents, while the smallest is [[Milpa Alta]] with 152,685 residents.<ref name="census2020" /> The largest demarcation by land area is [[Tlalpan]] which spans {{convert|314.5|km2|sqmi|adj=ri2|2|abbr=on}}, and the smallest is [[Iztacalco]] with {{convert|23.1|km2|sqmi|adj=ri2|2|abbr=on}}.<ref name=Landarea /> The most recent demarcations are [[Benito Juárez, Mexico City|Benito Juárez]], [[Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City|Cuauhtémoc]], [[Miguel Hidalgo, Mexico City|Miguel Hidalgo]] and [[Venustiano Carranza, Mexico City|Venustiano Carranza]], all established in 1970 out of the former circumscription of Mexico City.<ref name=dates>{{cite book |date=1996|title=Distrito Federal División Territorial de 1810 a 1995.|url=http://internet.contenidos.inegi.org.mx/contenidos/productos/prod_serv/contenidos/espanol/bvinegi/productos/historicos/2104/702825222444/702825222444_5.pdf|language=es|location=Mexico|publisher=INEGI|isbn=970-13-1503-0}}</ref>▼
