There are 537 incorporated municipalities in the U.S. state of Georgia. The municipalities are labelled cities or towns, although there is no legal difference between a city or town in Georgia.

Five municipalities listed below have merged with their counties to form consolidated city-counties.
 * Athens-Clarke County
 * Augusta-Richmond County
 * Columbus-Muscogee County
 * Cusseta-Chattahoochee County
 * Georgetown-Quitman County

Of these five, Athens-Clarke and Augusta-Richmond Counties also have municipalities independent of the consolidated governments.

Also, in 2012, voters in Bibb County approved the formation of a consolidated city-county government with Macon. The consolidation is expected to be completed sometime in 2013, upon which the municipal government of Payne will be abolished.

In two counties, Echols and Webster, existing municipalities were abolished, leaving only unified county governments comparable to the consolidated city-county governments listed above.

Two municipalities have been formed since the 2010 Census: Peachtree Corners in Gwinnett County, and Brookhaven in DeKalb County. As of February, 2013, no official Census count or estimate of either town has been published. Thus, they are not included in the table below.
