The Huon Valley Council is a Local Government Area of Tasmania. It is the southern-most local government area in Australia.

It encompasses the town of Huonville, on the Huon River, some surrounding towns, and many protected areas and forestry plantations. The Tahune Airwalk is also in the area, located near the township of Geeveston.

In 1993 the Municipalites of Esperance, Huon and Port Cygnet were amalgamated to form the Huon Valley Council. Macquarie Island was part of Esperance until then, and has been part of Huon Valley since then.

The municipality has five townships:

1. Cygnet
2. Dover (on Esperance Bay)
3. Franklin
4. Geeveston
5. Huonville
