The Urban Community of Bordeaux (French: Communauté urbaine de Bordeaux), also known by its French initials CUB, is the intercommunal structure gathering the city of Bordeaux (France) and some of its suburbs.

The Urban Community of Bordeaux encompasses only the center of the metropolitan area of Bordeaux (see infobox at Bordeaux article for the metropolitan area). Communes further away from the center of the metropolitan area have formed their own intercommunal structures, such as:

  • Community of Communes of Montesquieu (Communauté de communes de Montesquieu): 30,883 inhabitants
  • Community of Communes of Cestas - Canéjan (Communauté de communes Cestas - Canéjan): 22,041 inhabitants
  • Community of Communes of the Saint-Loubès Area (Communauté de communes du secteur de Saint-Loubès): 21,366 inhabitants
  • etc.
