This is a list of countries and territories in Europe by population density.
The whole of Russia and Turkey are referred to in the table, although they are only partly in Europe. The Asian nations of Azerbaijan, Georgia and Kazakhstan are generally considered to have small European portions.
Serbia and Montenegro are listed as separate countries, although at the time of the estimates they were also considered as one country. There is some discussion about whether Kosovo should be recognised as a separate country. De facto it can be considered as one, but de jure recognition is not clear-cut.
Unlike the figures in the country articles, the figures in this table are based on areas including inland water bodies (lakes, reservoirs, rivers) and therefore the population densities stated here may be lower.
The aggregate for Europe excluding Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Armenia and Moldova, the population density is 105 persons per km2 (including them it is 31, mostly due to Russia's vastness).
