The Fairfield City Council is a local government area in the west of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.

At the 2021 census, the proportion of residents in the Fairfield local government area who stated their ancestry as Vietnamese and Assyrian, was in excess of sixteen times the national average.

[3] A few small areas of the original bushland remain, including examples of Cumberland Plain Woodland, which is listed under the Threatened Species Conservation Act, and the Cooks River/Castlereagh Ironbark ecological community.

At the turn of the century the area had a population of 2,500 people and with fertile soils, produced crops for distribution in Sydney.

From 1 January 1949, under the Local Government (Areas) Act 1948, the 'Municipality of Cabramatta and Canley Vale' was amalgamated into the Municipality of Fairfield.
