Anexo:Ciudades de Australia por población

Esta lista de ciudades de Australia por población proporciona una clasificación de ciudades y pueblos australianos según todas las «áreas urbanas significativas» (en inglés: Significative Urban Areas; SUA) definidas por la Oficina Australiana de Estadística. Las SUA se definen para representar pueblos y ciudades significativos (o aglomeraciones de pueblos más pequeños, que tienen al menos 10 000 habitantes totales) con fines de análisis estadístico y no coinciden con los límites legales o administrativos oficiales.^[1]

Áreas urbanas significativas de más de 10 000 habitantes

A continuación, se clasifican las «áreas urbanas significativas», incluidas las de las capitales, según datos estadísticos oficiales de la Oficina Australiana de Estadística al 30 de junio de 2021.^[2] Las capitales aparecen en negrita.

El 70 % de la población australiana vive en las ocho ciudades más pobladas. {{Multiple image | align = right | direction = vertical | width = 200 | image1 = Sydney Harbour welcomes Jessica Watson.jpg | caption1 = Sídney | image2 = Melburnian Skyline.jpg | caption2 = Melbourne | image3 = City Botanic Gardens, Brisbane and Brisbane Skytower under construction seen from Kangaroo Point Cliffs Park in March 2019, 01.jpg | caption3 = Brisbane | image4 = Skyline of Perth seen from Perth Stadium, March 2021 02.jpg | caption4 = [[Perth] | image6 = Gold Coast skyline (Unsplash).jpg | caption6 = Gold Coast | image7 = Newcastle from The Hill.jpg | ! scope="col" | Junio de 2021^[2] ! scope="col" | Junio de 2016^[2] |- | scope="row" style="text-align:center" | 1 | Sídney |   Nueva Gales del Sur | style="text-align:right" | 4 959 107 | style="text-align:right" | 4 637 436 | +6.94% |- | scope="row" style="text-align:center" | 2 | Melbourne |   Victoria | style="text-align:right" | 4 901 863 | style="text-align:right" | 4 546 593 | +7.81% |- | scope="row" style="text-align:center" | 3 | Brisbane |   Queensland | style="text-align:right" | 2 495 825 | style="text-align:right" | 2 282 759 | +9.33% |- | scope="row" style="text-align:center" | 4 | Perth |   Australia Occidental | style="text-align:right" | 2 099 530 | style="text-align:right" | 1 982 270 | +5.92% |- | scope="row" style="text-align:center" | 5 | Adelaida |   Australia Meridional | style="text-align:right" | 1 359 087 | style="text-align:right" | 1 305 526 | +4.10% |- | scope="row" style="text-align:center" | 6 | Gold Coast–Tweed Heads |   Queensland
