The communes of Ivory Coast are a fifth-level administrative unit of administration in Ivory Coast. The sub-prefectures of Ivory Coast contain villages, and in select instances more than one village is combined into a commune. There are currently 197 communes in the 510 sub-prefectures. Prior to 2011, communes were the third-level administrative units of the country. Under the administration of Laurent Gbagbo, the number of communes grew to more than 1300. In 2011, a reorganization of the country's subdivisions was undertaken, with a goal of decentralizing the state. As part of the reorganization, communes were converted from third-level divisions into fifth-level divisions. In March 2012, the government abolished 1126 communes on the grounds that under the new jurisdiction of districts, regions, departments, and sub-prefectures, these particular communes were not economically viable governmental units. As a result of the reorganisation, there are now 197 communes in Ivory Coast. In many parts of the country, responsibilities previously carried out by the communes have been transferred to other levels of government. In most cases, the town that is the seat of the commune is also the seat of a sub-prefecture.

Comme les autres collectivités territoriales ivoiriennes que sont la région, le département, le district et la ville, la commune est une entité administrative dotée de la personnalité morale et de l'autonomie financière. Elle a pour missions, dans la limite des compétences qui lui sont expressément dévolues, d'organiser la vie collective et la participation des populations à la gestion des affaires locales, de promouvoir et réaliser le développement local, de moderniser le monde rural, d'améliorer le cadre de vie, de gérer les terroirs et l'environnement. Le , le maire et la municipalité constituent les organes de la commune.

Con la riorganizzazione generale degli enti locali intrapresa nel 2011 la gran parte dei circa 1300 comuni allora esistenti vennero aboliti o trasformati in dipartimenti o sottoprefetture, mentre mantennero l'attuale denominazione 197 di essi che passarono dal terzo al quinto livello amministrativo.
