In Bolivia, a canton () is an administrative division of territory one level below the municipality. Cantons were established by Article 108 of the 1967 Constitution, which placed it below the department, province, and municipality. Bolivia is divided into 1374 cantons (cantones).
Since they were not mentioned in the 2009 Constitution, cantons were officially abolished as an administrative level, but continue to exist in practice. In municipalities that have completed the municipal autonomy process, cantons have been succeeded by municipal districts.
Each canton is divide into different numbers of sub-cantons, forming an additional administrative level. Each canton was headed by a corrigedor, appointed by the executive branch of the national government.
There are individual localities or rural communities that represent the lowest level of administrative division.
