This is a list of local government areas in Victoria, sorted by region.

Also referred to as municipalities, the 79 Victorian LGAs are classified as cities , shires , rural cities and boroughs. In general, an urban or suburban LGA is called a city and is governed by a city council, while a rural LGA covering a larger rural area is usually called a shire and is governed by a shire council. Local councils have the same administrative functions and similar political structures, regardless of their classification.
