A county is an officially recognized geographical division within a state or province that serves as an administrative area for local government. Counties are typically larger than municipalities and function similarly to shires, making them important units for organizing how communities are governed and services are delivered at the local level.

縣是漢字文化圈所使用的行政区划单位名称，歷史悠久。在中国先秦时代既已做为地名出现，至春秋战国时演变为行政区单位，沿用至今，成为漢字文化圈传统意义上和法律地位上的地方行政單位名稱，扩展出县级行政区的概念。在今日的漢語圈，「縣」主要作為次級行政區存在，但在日本則是一級行政區。做为中国历史悠久的行政区单位，现代中国学者认为，县是中国历代封建王朝地方行政的分水岭，有「皇权不下县」之说。其观点认为中央政府的行政仅触及县以上行政区，县以下则是处于「地方自治」状态。
