Location of cities in Khmelnytskyi Oblast.^[1]

There are 13 populated places in Khmelnytskyi Oblast, Ukraine, that have been officially granted city status (Ukrainian: місто, romanized: misto) by the Verkhovna Rada, the country's parliament.^[2] Settlements with more than 10,000 people are eligible for city status, although the status is typically also granted to settlements of historical or regional importance.^[3][4][5] As of 5 December 2001, the date of the first and only official census in the country since independence,^[a] the most populous city in the oblast was the regional capital, Khmelnytskyi, with a population of 253,994 people, while the least populous city was Derazhnia, with 10,446 people.^[6][7] For its contributions to the country's defense during the Russian invasion, one city in the oblast, Starokostiantyniv, was awarded with the honorary title Hero City of Ukraine in 2025.^[8]

From independence in 1991 to 2020, six cities in the oblast were designated as cities of regional significance (municipalities), which had self-government under city councils, while the oblast's remaining seven cities were located amongst twenty raions (districts) as cities of district significance, which are subordinated to the governments of the raions.^[9][10][7] On 18 July 2020, an administrative reform abolished and merged the oblast's raions and cities of regional significance into three new, expanded raions.^[3][11] The three raions that make up the oblast are Kamianets-Podilskyi, Khmelnytskyi, and Shepetivka.^[12]
