This list of European countries by population, comprises the 51 countries and 5 territories, and dependencies in Europe broadly defined, thus including Cyprus, Kazakhstan, Turkey, and the countries of the Caucasus, even though parts or all of those could technically located in Asia.

The table below comprises the entire population of each country. For instance, the most populous European country is Russia, with a population of over 110 million in its European part (144 million overall).

Turkey, with a population of about 85 million, has most of its population living within its Asian part; though within its territory in Europe, some one-tenth of its population is situated. Excluding Turkey, Germany is the second-most populous country on the continent, with a population of about 84 million.

Kazakhstan is also a transcontinental country with a small part of it (west of the Ural river) located in Europe.

Table

The ranking here is according to the national figures, which may be estimates or somewhat out of date so the ranking of countries that are very close in population is approximate. The United Nations estimates are those published in the UN's World Population Prospects, which are based on censuses, population registers, surveys, and other statistics. This list also includes the partially recognised country of Kosovo.
