Comarques Gironines or the Girona region[1] is one of the eight regions (vegueries) defined by the Regional Plan of Catalonia. It has an area of 5,558 km² and 761,690 inhabitants as of 2022.[2]

  •   The Girona region within Catalonia

Located in the far east of Catalonia and bordering Pyrénées-Orientales (Occitania, France), the region includes the comarques of Gironès, Alt Empordà, Baix Empordà, Garrotxa, Pla de l'Estany, Ripollès and Selva. Within Catalonia, it borders Alt Pirineu to the west, Central Catalonia to the south-west and Barcelona to the south. Its demarcation is similar to that of the Spanish province of Girona, which differs from the vegueria in that it also includes part of Baixa Cerdanya and the municipalities of Espinelves, Vidrà and Viladrau, which belong to Osona.

Its capital is the city of Girona.[3]
