Municipalities of Timor-Leste

none

Timor-Leste is divided into 14 municipalities (, ), which are former districts. One municipality is also a Special Administrative Region (SAR). The municipalities are divided into administrative posts (former subdistricts), and further subdivided into sucos (villages). Atauro Island was initially a part of Dili Municipality, but became a separate municipality on 1 January 2022. The borders between Cova Lima and Ainaro and between Baucau and Viqueque were changed in 2003.

The municipalities in Timor-Leste are largely inherited from the earlier regencies (kabupaten) of the Indonesian province, all of which were created on 30 July 1976 during the New Order.
