List of twin towns and sister cities in Iraq
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b9/Iraq-CIA_WFB_Map.png/200px-Iraq-CIA_WFB_Map.png)
This is a list of municipalities in Iraq which have standing links to local communities in other countries. In most cases, the association, especially when formalised by local government, is known as "town twinning" (usually in Europe) or "sister cities" (usually in the rest of the world), and while most of the places included are towns, the list also includes villages, cities, districts, and counties with similar links.
