Greater Sudbury City Council is the governing body of the City of Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.

The council consists of the mayor plus a twelve-person council. The city is divided into six wards; each ward is represented by two councillors. The council meets at Tom Davies Square.

The city was created by amalgamating the former City of Sudbury with its six suburban municipalities on January 1, 2001. Ward boundaries in the new city were drawn by grouping former suburban municipalities with adjacent neighbourhoods in the former city.

Past mayors of the city and the former suburban municipalities are listed at List of mayors of Sudbury, Ontario.
