Middlesbrough Council, also known as Middlesbrough Borough Council, is the local authority for the Borough of Middlesbrough in North Yorkshire, England. Since 1996 the council has been a unitary authority, being a district council which also performs the functions of a county council.

The council is a member of the Tees Valley Combined Authority.
