The Gainesville metropolitan area is the metropolitan area in North Central Florida that includes Alachua, Levy, and Gilchrist counties, with Gainesville, Florida the principal city.[1] The metropolitan area had a population of 339,247 in 2020.[2]

The U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) designates the area as the Gainesville, FL Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), a metropolitan statistical area used for statistical purposes by the United States Census Bureau and other government agencies.
