List of civil parishes in County Durham explained

This is a list of civil parishes in the ceremonial county of Durham, England. The towns of Stockton-on-Tees, Darlington and Hartlepool are the only unparished areas outside the administrative county. There are 181 civil parishes.

The former Darlington County Borough is unparished.

The former Chester le Street Urban District and Consett Urban District and parts of the former Bishop Auckland Urban District, Crook and Willington Urban District and Stanley Urban District are unparished. When the City of Durham parish was formed in 2018, three areas remained unparished as the boundaries were based on wards and not aligned to those of the surrounding parishes.

Part of the former Hartlepool County Borough is unparished.

Part of the former Teesside County Borough is unparished. For the part of the borough south of the River Tees, see List of civil parishes in North Yorkshire.
