{{Main|Regions of the Czech Republic|Districts of the Czech Republic|Obec}}

Since 2000, the Czech Republic has been divided into [[Regions of the Czech Republic|thirteen regions]] ([[Czech language|Czech]]: [[wikt:en:kraj#Czech|''kraje'', singular ''kraj'']]) and the capital city of [[Prague]]. Every region has its own elected regional assembly and a regional governor. In Prague, the assembly and presidential powers are executed by the city council and the mayor.

The older seventy-six [[Districts of the Czech Republic|districts]] (''okresy'', singular ''[[okres]]'') including three "statutory cities" (without Prague, which had special status) lost most of their importance in 1999 in an administrative reform; they remain as territorial divisions and seats of various branches of state administration.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.radio.cz/en/article/36046|title=The death of the districts|date=3 January 2003|access-date=13 September 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100215131346/http://www.radio.cz/en/article/36046|archive-date=15 February 2010|url-status=live}}</ref>

The smallest administrative units are [[Obec|''obce'' (municipalities)]]. As of 2021, the Czech Republic is divided into 6,254 municipalities. Cities and towns are also municipalities. The capital city of Prague is a region and municipality at the same time.
