Cumbria County Council was the county council for the non-metropolitan county of Cumbria in the North West of England between 1974 and 2023. It was responsible for county-level services, including schools, roads, and social services. It worked in a two-tier arrangement with the county's six district councils.
On 1 April 2023, the county council and six district councils were abolished. In their place two new councils were created, with local government functions transferred to the two new unitary authorities: Cumberland Council and Westmorland and Furness Council. Cumbria continues to exist as a ceremonial county, but no longer has a county-wide elected council.
