An agglomeration community (French: communauté d'agglomération) is a metropolitan government structure in France, created by the Chevènement Law of 1999. It is the second most integrated form of intercommunality after the urban community. Agglomeration communities consist of a commune of at least 15,000 inhabitants (or a prefecture with less than 15,000 inhabitants) and its independent suburbs.

As of January 1, 2007, there are 169 agglomeration communities in France (163 in metropolitan France and 6 in the overseas departments), with a combined population of 21.17 million inhabitants.[1] The population (as of 1999 census) of the agglomeration communities range from 583,229 inhabitants (Agglomeration community of Greater Toulouse) to 28,485 inhabitants (Agglomeration community of the Pays de Flers).
