The Municipality of Eastwood was a local government area in the Northern region of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Initially proclaimed as the southern part of the Municipal District of Ryde in 1870, following a petition of secession the municipality was proclaimed as the Municipal District of Marsfield on 2 June 1894. It included the modern suburbs of Marsfield, Eastwood, and Denistone. On 17 July 1907, the name of the council was changed to the "Municipality of Eastwood". From 1 January 1949, the council was re-amalgamated into the Municipality of Ryde, with the passing of the Local Government (Areas) Act 1948.
