TheSurabaya metropolitan area orGreater Surabaya, known locally asGerbangkertosusila (Javanese:ꦒꦼꦂꦧꦁꦏꦼꦂꦠꦱꦸꦱꦶꦭ,romanized: Gěrbangkěrtåsusila, fromGresik-Bangkalan-Mojokerto-Surabaya-Sidoarjo-Lamongan), is ametropolitan area inEast Java,Indonesia. It is the country's second-largest metropolitan area, after theJakarta metropolitan area.Gerbangkertosusila had also been used in presidential decrees to refer to a larger region which includesJombang,Bojonegoro, andTuban Regencies.[2]
Grebangkertosusila is an official acronym of "GresikBangkalanMojokertoSurabayaSidoarjoLamongan", a main metropolitan or planning area inEast Java consisting of the seven cities and regencies with those names (Mojokerto is both a city and a separate regency).[3][4] It has an area of 6,310.06 km2, and at the 2020 Census had a population of 9,924,509,[5] rising to 10,081,343 according to the official estimates as at mid 2024.[6]
The national government regards the Surabaya Metropolitan Area as including only Surabaya,Sidoarjo Regency, andGresik Regency, known as "Zona Surabaya Raya".[7] Gresik Regency includesBawean Island, covering some 196 km2 and lying north of Java; however Bawean Island is excluded from the Metropolitan Area.

Surabaya traditionally constituted Indonesia's second-largest metropolitan area, after Jakarta, but fast growingBandung Metropolitan Area (inWest Java) is since 2005 more populous. However, the extended metropolitan area of Surabaya is second in Indonesia only toJabodetabek.
