City Council of Tampere (Finnish: Tampereen kaupunginvaltuusto) is the highest decision-making organ of Tampere. It consists of 67 members who are elected every four years in the municipal election.
The council meets at the Tampere City Central Office Building (sometimes called "The White House") in the city centre. The meetings take place almost always on Mondays. The meetings are sent on radio by Radio Moreeni.
The National Coalition Party and the Swedish People's Party have been in a local alliance since the municipal election of 2008. Peter Löfberg, the only member of Swedish People's Party, died while in office in May 2021.
