Charlottesville has four sister cities:
- Poggio a Caiano, Italy, became Charlottesville's first sister city in 1976
- Pleven, Bulgaria (2004), and
- Besancon, France (2006), and

Charlottesville's sister-city program is coordinated by the Sister Cities Commission, and the city is a member of Sister Cities International.[1].
