The term township generally means the district or area associated with a town. However in some systems no town need be involved. Specific use of the term to describe political subdivisions has varied by country, usually to describe a local rural or semi-rural government within a county.

In eastern Canada a township is one form of the subdivision of a county. This is translated into French as canton in Quebec.
