A village is an urban municipality status type used in the Canadian province of Alberta. Alberta villages are created when communities with populations of at least 300 people, where a majority of their buildings are on parcels of land smaller than 1,850 m2, apply to Alberta Municipal Affairs for village status under the authority of the Municipal Government Act.{{cite web | url=http://www.qp.alberta.ca/574.cfm?page=m26.cfm&leg_type=Acts&isbncln=9780779745739 | publisher=Alberta Queen's Printer | title=Municipal Government Act | access-date=March 21, 2010}} Applications for village status are approved via orders in council made by the Lieutenant Governor in Council under recommendation from the Minister of Municipal Affairs.

As of 2025, Alberta had 79 villages{{AltaMC}} that had a cumulative population of 33,149 in the 2016 Census of Population. Alberta's largest and smallest villages are Duchess and Milo with population counts of 1,085 and 91.

When a village's population reaches or exceeds 1,000 people, the council may request a change to town status, but the change in incorporated status is not mandatory.{{cite web | url=http://municipalaffairs.gov.ab.ca/am_types_of_municipalities_in_alberta.cfm | title=Types of Municipalities in Alberta | publisher=Alberta Municipal Affairs | access-date=March 21, 2010 | archive-date=April 19, 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120419011614/http://www.municipalaffairs.gov.ab.ca/am_types_of_municipalities_in_alberta.cfm | url-status=dead }} Villages with populations less than 300, whether their populations have declined below 300 or they were incorporated as villages prior to the minimum 300 population requirement, are permitted to retain village status.

Village governance is delivered by 327 elected village officials (80 mayors and 247 councillors) throughout the province.

Administration

Pursuant to Part 5, Division 1 of the Municipal Government Act (MGA), each municipality created under the authority of the MGA is governed by a council. As a requirement of the MGA, a village council consists of three councillors by default, one of which is the village's chief elected official (CEO) or mayor. A village council may consist of a higher number if council passes a bylaw altering its size. For the 2017–2021 term, 36 villages had a council of three, 1 had a council of four, and 44 had a council of five.

Village councils are governed by a mayor and typically an even number of councillors that are elected by popular vote, resulting in a total odd number of councillors to avoid tie votes on council matters. All council members are elected under the provisions of the Local Authorities Election Act (LAEA).{{cite web | url=http://www.qp.alberta.ca/574.cfm?page=L21.cfm&leg_type=Acts&isbncln=9780779747795 | publisher=Alberta Queen's Printer | title=Local Authorities Election Act | access-date=March 21, 2010}} Mayoral or councillor candidates are required to be residents of their municipality for a minimum of six consecutive months prior to nomination day. The last municipal election was October 18, 2021.

Alberta Municipal Affairs, a ministry of the Cabinet of Alberta, is charged with coordination of all levels of local government.

Administrative duties of villages include public safety, roads, water service, drainage and waste collection, as well as coordination of infrastructure with provincial and regional authorities (including road construction, education, and health).
