The Council of Italy, officially the Royal and Supreme Council of Italy (Spanish: Real y Supremo Consejo de Italia, Italian: Reale e Supremo Consiglio d'Italia), was a ruling body and key part of the government of the Spanish Empire in Europe, second only to the monarch himself. It was based in Madrid and administered the Spanish territories in Italy: the Kingdom of Naples, the Kingdom of Sicily, the Duchy of Milan, State of the Presidi, Marquisate of Finale and other minor territories.
Before the 1556 creation of the Council due to the historical rule of the Crown of Aragon over most of the territories, Spanish possessions in Italy were administered by the Council of Aragon.
