Cerdanya is in the "vegueria" of Alt Pirineu, according to "Vegueries of Catalonia law".

The area is sometimes called Baixa Cerdanya ([ˈbaʃ səɾˈðaɲə]; literally "Lower Cerdanya") to distinguish it from Alta Cerdanya ("Upper Cerdanya") which was ceded to France by the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659.

Can be distinguished the "subcomarques" of la Batllia or petita Cerdanya, and el Baridà.

Llívia in Cerdanya is a Catalan exclave, completely surrounded by French territory.
