Annandale and Eskdale is a committee area in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.

The provinces were gradually eclipsed in importance by the shires as the main unit of local administration, with Annandale and Eskdale coming to be seen as two of the three divisions of Dumfriesshire, the other being Nithsdale.

Annandale and Eskdale was one of four districts created within the region of Dumfries and Galloway.

The district covered the eastern part of Dumfriesshire, covering the whole area of ten former districts and part of an eleventh, which were all abolished at the same time:[2] For lieutenancy purposes, the last lord-lieutenant of the county of Dumfriesshire was made lord-lieutenant for the combined area of Annandale and Eskdale and the neighbouring district of Nithsdale when the reforms came into effect in 1975.

The council continues to use the former Annandale and Eskdale district as the basis of an area committee, alongside committees for the other three abolished districts of Nithsdale, Stewartry and Wigtown, subject to some adjustments of boundaries where ward boundaries no longer follow the pre-1996 district boundaries.
