'''Cergy''' ({{IPA|fr|sɛʁʒi|-|Fr-Paris--Cergy.ogg}}) is a [[Communes of France|commune]] in the French [[Departments of France|department]] of [[Val-d'Oise]], to the northwest of [[Paris]]. It is located {{convert|27.8|km|mi|abbr=on}} from the [[Kilometre Zero#France|centre of Paris]], in the "[[new town#France|new town]]" of [[Cergy-Pontoise]], created in the 1960s, of which it is the central and most populated commune.

Although neighbouring [[Pontoise]] is the official ''[[préfecture]]'' (capital) of the [[Val-d'Oise]] ''[[département in France|département]]'', the ''préfecture'' building and administration, as well as the department council (''conseil général''), are located inside the commune of Cergy, which is regarded as the ''de facto'' capital of Val-d'Oise. The ''[[Subprefectures in France|sous-préfecture]]'' building and administration, on the other hand, are located inside the commune of Pontoise.
