;Notes:

Administrative divisions

Each region is divided into districts (, nohiya or , rayon), which are further subdivided into municipal units: either as urban municipalities called either as cities (, "cities") or towns (, "towns"), or as rural municipalities called jamoats (, "village communes"), which in turn are further subdivided into villages/settlements (, "villages/hamlets").

As of 2020, Tajikistan has a total of 47 (not including 4 districts of the capital city Dushanbe) districts; prior to 2017 it had about 58.
