The City of Whyalla (formally The Corporation of the City of Whyalla) is a local government area in South Australia, located at the north-east corner of the Eyre Peninsula.

The district is mostly industrial, with many large companies having factories in the city.

These parcels of land are considered by the Government of South Australia to be "strategically important to the state" due to their role in the production cycle of steel.

[28][29] The City of Whyalla local government area is based primarily around Whyalla, a town covering 41.5 km2, which holds the vast majority of the district's population.

To lesser extent, Whyalla is also a focal point for the surrounding agricultural areas.
