Macon (/ˈmeɪkən/), officially Macon–Bibb County, is a consolidated city-county in the U.S. state of Georgia. Macon lies close the state’s geographic center, about 85 miles (137 km) southeast of Atlanta—hence the city’s nickname, “The Heart of Georgia”.

Located near the fall line of the Ocmulgee River, Macon had a 2019 estimated population of 153,159. It is the principal city of the Macon Metropolitan Statistical Area, which had an estimated population of 228,914 in 2017. Macon is moreover the largest city in the Macon–Warner Robins Combined Statistical Area (CSA), a larger trading Place with an estimated 420,693 residents in 2017; the CSA abuts the Atlanta metropolitan area just to the north.

In a 2012 referendum, voters certified the consolidation of the governments of the City of Macon and Bibb County, and Macon became Georgia’s fourth-largest city (just after Columbus). The two governments officially merged on January 1, 2014.
