This is a list of cities and towns on the Dniester river (Ukrainian: Дністер, Romanian: Nistru), which flows through Ukraine and Moldova.

With a total length of 1,362 km, the Dniester is almost equally distributed between the two countries:

48.2% (657 km) flows through Moldova.
51.8% (705 km) flows through Ukraine.

Considering only the portion of the river that flows through each country, the Dniester is the third-longest river in Ukraine (after the Dnieper at 981 km and the Southern Bug at 806 km) and the second-longest in Moldova (after the Prut at 695 km).

Any city or town which is located on the bank of the Dniester river can be included in this list. The cities and towns are sorted by the latest available number of inhabitants.
