村是指人类群居之地，通常以一个地理区或社区为范围；在英文的定义中，规模通常略大于村镇，而小于市镇，与集镇类似。现代多作为行政区划单位。

村（里）为中华民国之第四级行政区划名称；亦是最基层之地方自治单位。隶属于区、县辖市、镇者称为里；隶属于乡者称为村。村和里下还有「邻」之编组。设「村（里）长」、「村（里）干事」各一名，处理行政事务。村（里）长由村（里）民投票产生，村（里）干事则为乡镇市区公所之行政公务员。

A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town, with a population ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Though often located in rural areas, the term urban village is also applied to certain urban neighbourhoods. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings; however, transient villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement.
