The strategic authority areas[1] of England are the geographic areas covered by strategic authorities. Many of these areas are commonly known as city regions or simply regions.[2][3] Outside of Greater London, the strategic authority areas are not to be confused with the regions of England which were used for governance purposes across England until the regional development agencies were abolished 2012. All nine English regions are still used for some statistical purposes.[4]
The GLA is coterminous with the Greater London region. The other strategic authority areas cover smaller geographic areas than the English regions. For example, the North East England region is covered by two strategic authority areas: North East and Tees Valley. As of June 2026[update], strategic authority areas cover all of northern England and some parts of the rest of England.
