Aberdeen City Council is the local authority for Aberdeen City, one of the 32 council areas of Scotland. In its modern form it was created in 1996. Aberdeen was formerly governed by a corporation from when it was made a burgh in the twelfth century until 1975. Between 1975 and 1996 the city was governed by City of Aberdeen District Council, a lower-tier authority within the Grampian region.
The council has been under no overall control since 2002. Since 2022 it has been led by a Scottish National Party and Liberal Democrat coalition. It meets at Aberdeen Town House and has its main offices at the neighbouring Marischal College.
