List of states of Mexico


A Mexican State, officially a Free and Sovereign State, is a constituent federative entity of Mexico according to the Constitution of Mexico.

In the hierarchy of Mexican administrative divisions, states are further divided into municipalities. Currently there are 2,462 municipalities in Mexico.

Current Mexican governmental publications usually lists 32 federative entities, and 2,478 municipalities. Third or lower level divisions are sometimes listed by some governmental publications.
