Napier City Council (Māori: Te Kaunihera o Ahuriri) is the territorial authority of Napier, a city in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand's North Island.

The council covers the urban and suburban areas of the city, including Central Napier, Bay View, Onekawa, Ahuriri, Taradale, and Meeanee, amongst others. The council is the successor of the former borough council; Napier was proclaimed a city in 1950.

The council is led by the mayor of Napier, who is currently Kirsten Wise.
