This is a list of the 100 largest populated places in Libya. Some places in the list could be considered suburbs or neighborhoods of some large cities in the list, so this list is not definitive. Nearly all major cities in Libya are located on the northern coast, due to its more mild climate compared to the deserts of the interior.
