A census agglomeration is a census geographic unit in Canada determined by Statistics Canada. A census agglomeration comprises one or more adjacent census subdivisions that has a core population of 10,000 or greater. It is eligible for classification as a census metropolitan area once it reaches a population of 100,000.

At the 2011 Census, the Province of Alberta had 16 census agglomerations, up from 14 in the 2006 Census. The four added in 2011 were High River, Lacombe, Strathmore, and Sylvan Lake.
