This is a list of suburbs in the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality, which includes the city of Pretoria and its surrounding suburbs and exurbs. Pretoria/Tshwane is divided into 7 regions[1] namely Pretoria North, Far North, Central Western, Southern, Pretoria Far East, Eastern, Bronkhorstspruit.[2] Region 3 not only include Pretoria CBD**,** Brooklyn, Hatfield but also the Moot area and Pretoria West. Both Moot and Pretoria West are listed separately below. The City of Tshwane is the second largest municipality in Gauteng and is among the six biggest metropolitan municipalities in South Africa. The following towns and townships form part of the Municipality's area: Pretoria, Centurion, Akasia, Soshanguve, Mabopane, Atteridgeville, Ga-Rankuwa, Winterveld, Hammanskraal, Temba, Crocodile River and Mamelodi.

The City of Tshwane (covering Pretoria) in South Africa is the single-largest metropolitan municipality in the country, comprising seven regions, 107 wards and 210 councillors. Wards are delimited by the Municipal Demarcation Board (MDB).[3] This entails the division of the whole geographic area of a municipality into smaller geographic areas, called wards. Schedule 1 to the Structures Act, 1998 provides for certain procedures and criteria to which the MDB must comply. The MDB must, amongst others, ensure that all wards in a municipality have approximately the same number of voters. The number of registered voters in each ward, may not vary by more than 15% from the norm (average). Thus there may not be a correlation between wards, neighborhoods, areas and suburbs. The seven regions are:

Region 1 – Soshanguve, Mabopane, Winterveld, Ga-Rankuwa and Pretoria North

Region 2 - Wonderboom, Sinoville, Montana, Temba, Hammanskraal

Region 3 – Pretoria CBD, Brooklyn, Hatfield and Pretoria West

Region 4 - Centurion, Irene and surrounding areas

Region 5 - Rayton, Roodeplaat, Cullinan

Region 6 – Pretoria East**,** Eersterust, Mamelodi, Shere

Region 7 - Bronkhorstspruit and surrounding areas
