London Fire and Civil Defence Authority (LFCDA) was the fire authority of Greater London from 1 April 1986 to 3 July 2000.

It replaced the Greater London Council as fire authority when it was abolished.

The LFCDA was a joint authority, made up of 33 members, one appointed by each of the 32 London borough councils and one from the Corporation of London.

The LFCDA was replaced by the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority, a functional body of the Greater London Authority.[1]
