Highlights

• We performed an ecological study to clarify regional disparities in measles vaccination coverage and their associated factors in Japan.
• Data on measles vaccination coverage and potential associated factors for each municipality were obtained from official statistics of Japan.
• Among the municipalities, 54.3% had less than 95.0% measles vaccination coverage.
• Negative binomial regression showed that measles vaccination coverage was positively associated with population density.
• It also showed that measles vaccination coverage was negatively associated with single-father households, mother’s age, and area deprivation index.
