Ajaccio (;, ; ) is a commune on the island of Corsica in France.

The latter contains five other communes: Bastelicaccia, Alata, Afa, Appietto and Villanova, making a total of six communes for the seven cantons of Ajaccio.

Cantons 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 are located along the Gulf of Ajaccio from west to east, while 4 and 5 are a little further up the valleys of the Gravona and the Prunelli Rivers.

These political divisions subdivide the population of Ajaccio into units that can be more democratically served but they do not give a true picture of the size of Ajaccio.

In general language, " greater Ajaccio " includes about 100, 000 people with all the medical, educational, utility and transportational facilities of a big city.

Up until World War II it was still possible to regard the city as being a settlement of narrow streets localized to some part of the harbor or the Gulf of Ajaccio ; such bucolic descriptions do not fit the city of today, and travellogues intended for mountain or coastal recreational areas do not generally apply to Corsica's few big cities.

Ajaccio is located on the west coast of the island of Corsica, southeast of Marseille.

It occupies a sheltered position at the foot of wooded hills on the northern shore of the Gulf of Ajaccio.

The modern city not only encloses the entire harbor but takes up the better part of the Gulf of Ajaccio and in suburban form extends for some miles up the valley of the Gravona River.

The earliest record of a settlement at Ajaccio having a name ancestral to its name is the exhortation in Epistle 77 written in 601 CE of Gregory the great to the Defensor Boniface, one of two known rectors of the early Corsican church, not to leave Aleria and Adjacium without bishops.

Ptolemy's Ourchinion is further north than Ajaccio and does not have the same name.

Nineteenth-century travellers could point to the Hill of San Giovanni on the northwest shore of the Gulf of Ajaccio, which still had a cathedral said to have been the 6th century seat of the Bishop of Ajaccio.

In the 20th century the hill was covered over with buildings and became a part of downtown Ajaccio.

The present town of Ajaccio was founded in 1492 south of the Christian village by the Bank of Saint George at Genoa, which dispatched Cristoforo of Gandini, an architect, to build it.

Charles was among a delegation from Ajaccio in 1769, offered his loyalty and was appointed assessor.

There is a dispute concerning Napoleon's age because of this requirement ; the emperor is known to have altered the civic records at Ajaccio concerning himself and it is possible that he was born in Corte in 1768 when his father was there on business.

In 1811 he made Ajaccio the capital of the new Department of Corsica.
