List of cities by elevation

The following is a list of the world's major cities (either capitals, more than one million inhabitants or an elevation of over 1000 m) by elevation. In addition, the country, continental region, latitude and longitude are shown for all cities listed.

While the elevation of cities may vary enormously, this list should represent a notional elevation for each city which is verifiable and reasonably acceptable for comparison. The city proper must have a population of 175,000 or higher to be on the list.
