台山市是广东省的县级市，由江门市代管，地处珠江三角洲西南部，北倚潭江，南面临南海，旧称新宁。明弘治十二年（1499年）置新宁县，1914年改名台山县，1992年撤县设市。

全市土地总面积约3308平方千米，下设1个街道、16个镇；2025年末常住人口88.20万人，户籍人口93.89万人。

台山向有「侨乡」之称。据市政府2026年的介绍，旅居海外和港澳的台山籍乡亲约180万人，遍布107个国家和地区，当地因而有「内外两个台山」的说法。 本地通行粤语四邑片的台山话；乡间现存碉楼两千五百座以上，海上有上川岛、下川岛等三百多个岛屿。 清末旅美华侨陈宜禧主持集资修建的新宁铁路曾纵贯县境；台山广东音乐和浮石飘色已列入国家级非物质文化遗产名录，九人排球列入广东省级名录。

Towns and administrative villages are from the National Bureau of Statistics division codes; natural villages from each town government's pages on its villages, names only - and, for 三合, 冲蒌, 赤溪 and 海宴, whose pages give only numbers, from the province's lists of hygienic villages (2020, 2023) - some from China Post's address data (as youbianku.com publishes it), and some from OpenStreetMap, placed in their administrative village by China Post's address data or the Taishan government's village pages, both as Xiangcun Baike (乡村百科) has compiled them, or by the villages around them, or, where none of these is certain, listed under their town for users to place; their positions on the map are from OpenStreetMap. Names, heungs and surnames as they were in 1963 are from VillageDB by Friends of Roots (the Index of Clan Names by Villages for Toishan District, American Consulate General, Hong Kong). Surnames, and some villages, are also submitted by users of this site.
