Rutland County Council is the local authority for the non-metropolitan county of Rutland in the East Midlands of England. Since 1997 the council has been a unitary authority, legally being a district council which also performs the functions of a county council.

The council is responsible for almost all local services in Rutland, although the Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service and Leicestershire Police (which also serve Rutland) are run by joint boards between Rutland County Council, Leicestershire County Council and Leicester City Council.

The council has been under no overall control since 2021, being led since 2023 by a minority administration of the Liberal Democrats and Green Party. It is based at Catmose House in Oakham.
