The largest of Canary Islands's 116 recorded places, ranked by population — 2,364,408 people across the region's towns and cities.
The essentials
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is the largest place we record in Canary Islands, with 383,516 residents. The three largest together hold 32% of the 2,364,408 people counted across the region's recorded towns and cities. That total sums listed places rather than measuring the region itself, so treat it as coverage, never as an official population.

Figures are the latest available in GeoNames (CC BY 4.0), which draws on national censuses of varying dates — treat them as recent, not same-year. Country totals are UN World Population Prospects 2024 (medium variant) where the UN lists the country separately; the handful it reports under a parent state keep a GeoNames figure and are marked as such.
