The Municipality of St Peters was a local government area of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It was originally proclaimed as the Municipal District of St Peters on 13 January 1871. With an area of 4.2 square kilometres, it included the modern suburbs of St Peters, Tempe and Sydenham. The council was amalgamated with the Municipality of Marrickville, along with the Municipality of Petersham, with the passing of the Local Government (Areas) Act 1948, and is now part of the Inner West Council.

By the late 1890s, the municipality had grown in population to around 7000, with manufacturing and industry playing a greater role, particularly brickworks fed by clay from the Cooks River.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article114260826 |title=THE CITY'S GROWTH. |newspaper=Evening News |issue=15,890 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=18 May 1918 |access-date=29 October 2017 |page=6 |via=National Library of Australia}} An 1899 profile of the suburb in the Australian Town and Country Journal noted in this regard: "St. Peters is mainly a residential suburb, but it can boast of some industries, and on its borders are situated a number of very prosperous brickworks. There are portions of the district which are admirably adapted for manufacturing purposes, and no doubt in course of time full advantage will be taken of these opportunities." On 18 December 1903, the wards were rearranged to North Ward, Bellevue Ward and Tempe Ward.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article226371577 |title=PROCLAMATION |newspaper=Government Gazette Of The State Of New South Wales|issue=671 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=22 December 1903 |access-date=28 October 2017 |page=9375 |via=National Library of Australia}} On 17 December 1919, a fourth ward was added when Brompton Ward was recreated.{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article229752485 |title="LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACT, 1906," AND AMENDING ACTS. |newspaper=Government Gazette Of The State Of New South Wales |issue=271 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=19 December 1919 |access-date=28 October 2017 |page=7112 |via=National Library of Australia}}

=Later history=

By the end of the Second World War, the NSW Government had come to the conclusion that its ideas of infrastructure expansion could not be realised by the present system of the mostly-poor inner-city municipal councils and the Minister for Local Government, Joseph Cahill, passed a bill in 1948 that abolished a significant number of those councils. Under the Local Government (Areas) Act 1948, St Peters Municipal Council was merged, along with Petersham council, with the neighbouring Municipality of Marrickville which was located to the North.
