The '''Calgary Metropolitan Region''' ('''CMR'''), also known as '''Greater Calgary''' or '''Metro Calgary''' is a conglomeration of municipalities centred on [[Calgary]], the [[List of cities in Alberta|largest city]] in [[Alberta]].

With the Government of Alberta's establishment of the Calgary Metropolitan Region Board (CMRB) in 2017, the CMR's boundaries were legislated to include the City of Calgary, [[Foothills County]] to the south, [[Rocky View County]] to the west, north, and east, and a western portion of [[Wheatland County, Alberta|Wheatland County]] further to the east.<ref name=CMRBregulation>{{cite web | url=http://www.qp.alberta.ca/documents/Regs/2017_190.pdf | title=Calgary Metropolitan Region Board Regulation (Alberta Regulation 190/2017) | publisher=Alberta Queen's Printer | year=2017 | access-date=December 22, 2017}}</ref> Also within these boundaries are the cities of [[Airdrie, Alberta|Airdrie]] and [[Chestermere]], seven towns: [[Cochrane, Alberta|Cochrane]], [[Crossfield, Alberta|Crossfield]], [[Diamond Valley, Alberta|Diamond Valley]], [[High River]], [[Irricana]], [[Okotoks]], and [[Strathmore, Alberta|Strathmore]], two villages: [[Beiseker]] and [[Longview, Alberta|Longview]], and two [[First Nations in Alberta|First Nations communitie]]s: [[Tsuu T'ina Nation Indian Reserve No. 145|Tsuu T'ina 145]] and [[Eden Valley 216]]. Not all of these, however, are administrative members of the CMRB.

The Calgary [[census metropolitan area]] (CMA) as delineated by [[Statistics Canada]] is smaller than the CMR. The Calgary CMA includes Calgary, Rocky View County, Airdrie, Beiseker, Chestermere, Cochrane, Crossfield, Irricana, and Tsuu T'ina 145.

The Calgary Metropolitan Region is a major transportation hub for [[southern Alberta]], [[Saskatchewan]], eastern [[British Columbia]], and parts of the northern [[United States]]. It is home to the [[Calgary International Airport]], the fourth busiest airport in Canada in terms of total aircraft movements.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/51-209-x/51-209-x2012001-eng.pdf | publisher=Statistics Canada | title=Aircraft Movement Statistics: NAV CANADA Towers and Flight Service Stations: Annual Report (TP 577), 2011 | page=18 | date=May 2012 | access-date=December 2, 2012}}</ref>
