{{Main|List of districts of Karnataka}}

There are 31 districts in Karnataka. Each district (''[[List of districts in India|zila]]'') is governed by a district commissioner (''ziladar''). The districts are further divided into sub-districts (''[[taluka]]s''), which are governed by sub-commissioners (''talukdars''); sub-divisions comprise blocks (''[[tehsil]]s''/''hobli''), which are governed by block development officers (''tehsildars''), which contain village councils (''[[Panchayati raj in India|panchayat]]s''), town municipal councils (''purasabhe''), city municipal councils (''nagarasabhe''), and city municipal corporations (''mahanagara palike'').
