Greater Sudbury City Council is the governing body of the City of Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.
The council consists of the mayor plus a five-person council. The city is divided into twelve wards; each ward is represented by one councillor. The council meets at Tom Davies Square.
The city was created by amalgamating the former City of Sudbury with six suburban municipalities on January 1, 2001. Initially, the council structure consisted of six wards, each represented by two councillors. Ward boundaries in the new city were drawn by grouping former suburban municipalities with adjacent neighbourhoods in the former city. For the 2006 municipal election, council was reorganized into twelve single-member wards.
Past mayors of the city and the former suburban municipalities are listed at List of mayors of Sudbury, Ontario.

“Daughter to that good Earl, once President
Of England’s Council and her Treasury,
Who lived in both, unstain’d with gold or fee,
And left them both, more in himself content.
Till the sad breaking of that Parliament
Broke him, as that dishonest victory
At Chaeronea, fatal to liberty,
Kill’d with report that old man eloquent;—”
