    Kota Surakarta (juga Solo, Sala, dan [tidak dipakai lagi] Salakarta) adalah sebuah kota di Provinsi Jawa Tengah, Indonesia. Di Indonesia, Surakarta merupakan kota peringkat kesepuluh terbesar (setelah Yogyakarta). Sisi timur kota ini dilewati sungai yang terabadikan dalam salah satu lagu keroncong, Bengawan Solo. Kota ini dulu juga tempat kedudukan dari residen, yang membawahi Karesidenan Surakarta di masa awal kemerdekaan. Jabatan residen sekarang dihapuskan dan diganti menjadi "pembantu gubernur untuk wilayah Surakarta". Kota Surakarta memiliki semboyan BERSERI yang merupakan akronim dari Bersih, Sehat, Rapi, dan Indah. Untuk kepentingan pemasaran pariwisata, Solo mengambil slogan pariwisata Solo the Spirit of Java yang diharapkan bisa membangun citra kota Solo sebagai pusat kebudayaan Jawa.
