The Mid-Western Regional Council is a Local Government Area (LGA) in the Central West of New South Wales. The Castlereagh Highway passes through the middle of the area in an approximate southeast-northwest direction.

The largest town and council seat is Mudgee. The region also includes the towns of Gulgong, Rylstone and Kandos and the villages of Bylong and Ilford. Most of the Shire is agricultural, but it includes several historical towns.

Mid-Western Regional Council was proclaimed on May 26, 2004 and incorporates the whole of the former Mudgee Shire Council and parts of the former Merriwa and Rylstone Shires.
