Seberang Perai City Council, Local government authority in Seberang Perai, Malaysia.

Seberang Perai City Council is the local government body covering the mainland part of Penang state in Malaysia. It handles public services such as tax collection, business licensing, and waste management for a mix of industrial and rural communities.

Local governance began in 1896 with the first Municipal Ordinance; a 1913 law created three Rural Boards and a Town Board. In 1961 the Butterworth and Bukit Mertajam town councils merged with the North and Central rural councils, and from 1973 a single Board of Management ran the remaining three. The Municipal Council of Province Wellesley succeeded it under the Local Government Act 1976, and Seberang Perai became a city in 2019.

The council's 24 councillors are appointed, not elected: 21 come from the Pakatan Harapan parties (ten DAP, nine PKR, two Amanah), two from UMNO and one from a Penang NGO. The mayor serves a two-year term and each councillor one year, so the body's make-up is renewed annually by the state government.

Many services are available through the council's online platform, which means residents and visitors can handle routine matters without going in person. Those who do need to visit in person are best served by going during standard office hours.

The council runs a program that turns food waste into compost, separate from its general recycling initiative. Together, these two efforts have helped push Seberang Perai toward some of the highest recycling rates in the country.
