The Kingston District Council (formerly District Council of Lacepede) is a local government area in the Limestone Coast, South Australia established in 1873. Kingston SE is the largest town of the district and also the seat of council.

The district is mostly reliant on agriculture, particularly cereal crops, sheep and cattle. Cape Jaffa also hosts a lobster fishing fleet, with other commercial fishing also providing part of the area's economy.

Tourism also plays a minor role, with Kingston SE a minor tourist destination, noted for its 'Big Lobster', with Mount Scott Conservation Park and Butchers Gap Conservation Park also located in the district.
