This is a list of fictional locations and places created by DC Comics. In the DC Universe there are galaxies, solar systems, planets, continents, countries, cities, towns, boroughs, neighborhoods, streets and buildings that do not exist in the real world. A great deal of them are supposed to be within real locations. For instance, Coast City and Star City are in California, USA; Markovia is and entire country somewhere in eastern Europe; Atlantis is a submarine continent located in the Atlantic ocean; Rann is a planet in the Alpha Century system; and so on.
