Oklahoma City, often shortened to OKC, is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Oklahoma. The county seat of Oklahoma County, it ranks 20th in population among U.S. cities and 8th in the Southern United States, with a population of 681,054 at the 2020 census. The Oklahoma City metropolitan area has an estimated 1.49 million residents, the largest metropolitan area in the state and 42nd-most populous in the nation. The city limits extend into Canadian, Cleveland, and Pottawatomie counties; however, areas beyond Oklahoma County primarily consist of suburban developments or designated rural and watershed zones.

It is also the second-largest state capital by area, following Juneau, Alaska.
