Warwick is a local government district of central Warwickshire in England.
The district comprises the towns of Warwick itself, Leamington Spa, Kenilworth and Whitnash, and also includes the surrounding rural areas.
Despite being named after Warwick, the district council headquarters are actually based in Leamington Spa. Warwick hosts the county council headquarters.
The district was created on 1 April 1974, by a merger of the former Leamington Spa and Warwick municipal boroughs, the Kenilworth urban district and the Warwick Rural District.
