Coseley Urban District Council was a local authority which was created in 1894. It was made up of the villages of Brierley, Woodsetton, Ettingshall and Coseley, which had previously been part of the ancient manor of Sedgley.

The urban district's council was based at a building in the town centre (A.K.A. Roseville).

Coseley UDC ceased to exist in 1966 when, along with most of Sedgley and Brierley Hill, some of it was incorporated into the County Borough of Dudley. Most of the Ettingshall area of the district was incorporated into Wolverhampton County Borough.

The former Coseley Council offices were taken over by Dudley County Borough Council whose General Purposes Committee decided to have this historic building demolished not too long afterwards.
