The City of Moreland is a Local Government Area located within the metropolitan area of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

It was created in 1994 during the forced amalgamations of local government by the Kennett Government, being created from the former local government areas of the City of Brunswick, the City of Coburg and the southern part of the City of Broadmeadows. The Moreland local government area covers 51 square kilometres, and at the 2006 census it had a population of 142,325.
The council and its government area are affectionately known by some residents as the People's Republic of Moreland. It is now famous for its collection of "bomb sites", undeveloped pieces of land, old factories and even the once wonderful Coburg High School that sits derelict, opposite council offices.
In 2004 the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC), the Victorian office of the Australian Electoral Commission, conducted a review of the local electorate. The result of this review was the change of election method from preferential voting of ten single member wards to proportional representation in three multi-member wards. This change occurred in time for the 27 November 2004 election. In this election the Australian Labor Party, who had previously dominated the council, lost some seats to Independents and Green representatives.
