The Municipality of Strathfield is a local government area of the western suburbs of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
Strathfield Council was incorporated in 1885 and originally included the suburbs of Redmire, Homebush and Druitt Town. The name Strathfield was adopted as the name of the new council in 1885. The suburb of Redmire was renamed Strathfield in 1886. Druitt Town was renamed Strathfield South in the early 1890s. Only Homebush survives as an original location name. Since that time, Strathfield has become an important multicultural centre (for Korean, Chinese and Sri Lankan minority populations).
The Municipality of Strathfield today comprises over 14.1 square kilometres (5.4 sq mi) of land and has circa 36,000 inhabitants.
The Mayor of Strathfield Municipal Council is Cr. Gulian Vaccari, a member of the Liberal Party.
