This is a list of sovereign states and other territories by population,using the most recently available official figures. Because such figures are not collected at the same time in every country, or with the same level of accuracy, the resulting rankings may be misleading.

The list includes all sovereign states and dependent territories recognized by the United Nations plus the 7 sovereign states that are not recognised by the United Nations.^[1]
