List of settlements in Devon by population

This list is of towns and cities in Devon in order of their population, according to the 2011 census data from the Office for National Statistics.

It comprises the Key Statistics for local authorities, civil parishes and wards that attempt to show their populations.

Prior to 1888, city status was given to settlements home to a cathedral of the Church of England such as Exeter.

Historical towns such as Plympton, Stonehouse and Devonport, which were merged into the city of Plymouth, have not been included, as well as Topsham, which became a part of Exeter's urban district, and St Marychurch, which was annexed by Torquay.

Changes to population structures have, however, led to explosions in non-traditional settlements that do not fall into traditional, bureaucratic definitions of 'towns'.
