Cantons of Luxembourg

The 12 cantons (French: canton [kɑ̃tɔ̃] ⓘ; German: Kanton [kanˈtoːn] ⓘ; Luxembourgish: Kanton [ˈkɑnton])[a] of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are subdivisions at the first level of local administrative unit (LAU-1) in the European Union's Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics for Eurostat purposes.

Unlike in Switzerland and similarly to France, Luxembourgish cantons have no administrative structure of their own—rather, they are used to delimitate electoral constituencies and judicial districts.

The origins of the cantons of Luxembourg lie in the decree of 31 August 1795 by the Committee of Public Safety during the French Revolutionary period.

[2] This established 37 cantons in the Département des Forêts, grouped into 4 arrondissements (districts): Bitbourg, Diekirch, Luxembourg, and Neufchâteau.

The following list gives the names of the cantons in French and Luxembourgish (in that order) which are both official languages of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg:
