Skidegate Band Council (SBC; Haida: SG̱iidagiids G̱an ga Ḵaagangx̱aaw), is a band government of the Haida people, located in Skidegate, on Haida Gwaii. Skidegate Band Council is one of two Canadian band governments for the Haida Nation, the other is Old Massett Village Council. The main governing body of the Haida people is the Council of the Haida Nation, and as such the two band councils function as village governments.

As of March 2025, the band has 1,788 registered members, and 11 reserves, with a total area of 841.8 hectares (2,080 acres).
