The Crownlands is one of the nine constituent regions of the Seven Kingdoms. It was never a sovereign nation, instead being contested between the Riverlands, the Stormlands, and other regions until Aegon the Conqueror seized control of the area during his invasion and made it his primary foothold on the continent, three centuries before the death of King Robert Baratheon. It is therefore the newest of the regions in Westeros, and as a result, does not have much of a distinct "cultural identity", so much as it is shaped by its distinction as the region containing the capital city.

The Crownlands is divided into two areas: the mainland part administered directly by the King on the Iron Throne and his Small Council from the city of King's Landing, and the offshore islands under the authority of the Prince of Dragonstone, traditionally the heir to the throne.

Bastards born in the Crownlands are given the surname Waters.
