An agglomeration community (French: communauté d'agglomération) is a metropolitan government structure in France, created by the Chevènement Law of 1999. It is one of three forms of intercommunality, less integrated than an urban community but more integrated than a community of communes. 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, 2009, there are 174 agglomeration communities in France (167 in metropolitan France and 7 in the overseas departments), with a combined population of 21.0 million inhabitants.[1] The population (as of 2006 census) of the agglomeration communities ranges from 406,140 inhabitants (Agglomeration community of Montpellier Agglomération) to 28,372 inhabitants (Agglomeration community of the Pays de Flers).
