Cork City Council ({{langx|ga|Comhairle Cathrach Chorcaí}}) is the local authority of the city of Cork in Ireland. As a city council, it is governed by the Local Government Act 2001. Before 1 January 2002, the council was known as Cork Corporation. The council is responsible for housing and community, roads and transportation, urban planning and development, amenity and culture, environment and the management of some emergency services (including Cork City Fire Brigade).{{cite web | url = https://www.corkcity.ie/en/council-services/services/ | website = Cork City Council | title = Council Services | access-date = 10 October 2020 | archive-date = 1 October 2020 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20201001074901/https://www.corkcity.ie/en/council-services/services/ | url-status = live }} The council has 31 elected members. Elections are held every five years and are by single transferable vote. The head of the council is elected on an annual basis and has the honorific title of Lord Mayor. The city administration is headed by a chief executive, Valerie O'Sullivan. The council meets at City Hall, Cork.

The 2015 Cork Local Government Review recommended merging Cork City Council and Cork County Council into a single "super council", within which a metropolitan district council will govern the Metropolitan Cork area; however, a minority report opposed the merger.{{cite web|url=https://www.housing.gov.ie/sites/default/files/migrated-files/en/Publications/LocalGovernment/Administration/FileDownLoad%2C42666%2Cen.pdf|title=Local Government Arrangements in Cork|author=Cork Local Government Committee|date=September 2015|publisher=Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government|access-date=8 September 2015|archive-date=1 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170801205015/http://www.housing.gov.ie/sites/default/files/migrated-files/en/Publications/LocalGovernment/Administration/FileDownLoad%2C42666%2Cen.pdf|url-status=live}}{{cite news|url=http://www.eveningecho.ie/cork-news/merger-of-cork-councils-to-be-in-place-for-2019-elections/704605/|title=Merger of Cork councils to be in place for 2019 elections|date=7 September 2015|work=Evening Echo|access-date=8 September 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151010214647/http://www.eveningecho.ie/cork-news/merger-of-cork-councils-to-be-in-place-for-2019-elections/704605/|archive-date=10 October 2015|df=dmy-all}} This was subsequently followed in 2017 by a report published by an expert advisory group recommending a city boundary extension.{{Cite web|url=http://www.eveningecho.ie/corknews/Cork-city-to-double-in-size-taking-in-Ballincollig-Blarney-and-Carrigtwohill--5d1a4c9e-d1ef-429d-999c-ffe188d95d30-ds|title=Cork city to double in size taking in Ballincollig, Blarney and Carrigtwohill|date=9 June 2017|access-date=29 July 2017|archive-date=30 July 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170730013152/http://www.eveningecho.ie/corknews/Cork-city-to-double-in-size-taking-in-Ballincollig-Blarney-and-Carrigtwohill--5d1a4c9e-d1ef-429d-999c-ffe188d95d30-ds|url-status=live}} The city boundary was to be extended to include Little Island, Cork Airport, Ballincollig, Blarney, and Carrigtwohill, adding a population of over 100,000, however the final extension will not include either Little Island or Carrigtwohill.{{cite news|url=http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/how-corks-super-council-has-been-dismissed-and-the-city-is-getting-a-border-extension-35808144.html|title=How Cork's 'super council' has been dismissed - and the city is getting a border extension|last=Riegel|first=Ralph|date=9 June 2017|work=Irish Independent|access-date=9 June 2017|archive-date=9 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170609130624/http://www.independent.ie/irish-news/how-corks-super-council-has-been-dismissed-and-the-city-is-getting-a-border-extension-35808144.html|url-status=live}} Places farther out will remain part of the county, including Cobh, Carrigaline, and Midleton, as well as Ringaskiddy, the centre of the Port of Cork.
