This is a list of ancient Greekpoleis around the Mediterranean world, arranged geographically. It does not list all the Greek settlements of the ancient world, just those organised around a polis structure and attested during the Archaic and Classical eras. Cities founded during the Hellenistic era are not listed here, as they were most likely not independent city-states like the Classical poleis. Moreover, not all the poleis listed here were ethnically Greek, as several indigenous peoples became Hellenised at the contact of the Greeks and adopted their culture, including the polis organisation, such as the Sicels in Sicily.
The list, and the spelling of ancient names follow the collective work directed by Mogens Herman Hansen, Inventory of Archaic and Classical Poleis.

^Aitna was originally the new name of Katane after its capture by Hiero I of Syracuse, who founded a city there as Aitna. In 461, the expelled citizens of Katane recovered their city, so the citizens of Aitna left and founded a new city on the slopes of Mt. Etna in order to retain their community. The entry in the table refers to the latter city.

^Hansen and Nielsen counts the city twice because Samos was conquered by Athens in 366-365 BC and functioned as a (new) independent polis.
