The City of Ely Council is the parish council responsible for local government within the civil parish of the city of Ely, Cambridgeshire, England.

The parish council was formed on 1 April 1974 as a successor authority of the City of Ely Urban District Council. The parish council derives its powers and functions from the Local Government Act 1972 and subsequent legislation.

The civil parish of Ely is divided into four wards called Ely North, Ely South, Ely East and Ely West for the purpose of electing the fourteen councillors to the parish council.{{cite web | url=http://www.cityofelycouncil.org.uk/page/1rwtb/Councillors.html | title=Councillors | access-date=2015-03-22 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402131539/http://www.cityofelycouncil.org.uk/page/1rwtb/Councillors.html | archive-date=2015-04-02 | url-status=dead }}
