The City Council of Madrid ({{langx|es|Ayuntamiento de Madrid}}) is the top-tier administrative and governing body of Madrid, the capital and biggest city of Spain.

The city council is composed by three bodies: the mayor, who leads the city council and the executive branch of it; the governing council (Junta de Gobierno), which is the main body of the executive branch composed by the mayor and the councillors appointed by him; and the Plenary, a democratically elected assembly which represents the people of Madrid. The current mayor of Madrid is José Luis Martínez-Almeida since June 2019.

== Districts ==

The local government of the city uses a decentralized system called juntas municipales de distrito (municipal district assemblies), which are ultimately led by the ayuntamiento. The Plenary is the body with authority to divide the city into districts, and the mayor has the authority to appoint the "councillor-presidents" chairing those districts. A councillor-president must be an elected councillor. The current officeholders are:{{cite web|title=Juntas Municipales de Distrito|url=https://www.madrid.es/portales/munimadrid/es/Inicio/El-Ayuntamiento/Contacto/Juntas-Municipales-de-Distrito-/?vgnextfmt=default&vgnextoid=f82a3d90d51b3810VgnVCM1000001d4a900aRCRD&vgnextchannel=2ff5891b0ed86210VgnVCM2000000c205a0aRCRD|access-date=25 October 2024|publisher=City Council of Madrid|language=spanish}}

The Plenary is the body of maximum political representation of citizens in the municipal government, exercises the powers that are expressly assigned to it and is made up of the mayor and the councillors. The councillors are elected on the basis of universal suffrage in a secret ballot, and in turn they determine the mayor of Madrid. Plenary sessions are public. The Plenary can operate in committees, which will be formed by the councillors who designate the political groups in proportion to their representation in the Plenary.{{Cite web|url=https://www.boe.es/buscar/act.php?id=BOE-A-2006-12057|title=Capitality and Special Regime of Madrid Act of 2006|website=www.boe.es|access-date=2019-03-03}}

The Plenary (Pleno del Ayuntamiento de Madrid) is the body formed by the elected councillors. The passing of by-laws, annual budget and taxes; the scrutiny of the council of government and the motion of no confidence on the mayor are tasks assigned to this entity in Spain.{{Cite journal|title=Las administraciones públicas |url=http://www.uned.es/613114/Documentos/V_administraciones_publicas_en_Espana.pdf |first=Carles |last=Ramió |journal=Política y gobierno en España |others=In: M.
