Cirebon (Indonesian pronunciation: [t͡ʃirə'bɔn], formerly rendered Cheribon or Chirebon in English) is a port city on the northern coast of the Indonesian island of Java. It is the only coastal city of West Java, located about 40 km west of the provincial border with Central Java, approximately 297 km (185 mi) east of Jakarta, at 6°43′S 108°34′E / 6.717°S 108.567°E / -6.717; 108.567. It had a population of 296,389 at the 2010 census^[2] and 333,303 at the 2020 census;^[3] the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 341,980 (comprising 171,638 males and 170,342 females).^[1]

The built-up area of Cirebon reaches out from the city and into the surrounding regency of the same name; the official metropolitan area encompasses the whole of this regency as well as the city, and covers an area of 1,116.24 km² (430.98 sq mi), with a 2010 census population of 2,363,585; the 2020 census total was 2,603,924^[3] and the official estimate as at mid 2023 was 2,702,421.^[1]
