The District Council of Mount Pleasant was a local government area in South Australia from 1935 to 1997.

It was divided into five wards (Eden Valley, Springton, Mount Pleasant, Tungkillo and Palmer), each represented by one councillor.

[2] The council's responsibilities over time included road construction, the opening of the Mount Pleasant Kindergarten in 1980 and the provision of the Talunga Village units for the elderly in conjunction with the Lions Club; it also redeveloped and owned Talunga Park as the Mount Pleasant Oval and Showgrounds.

In 1986, the council district had an area of 633.4 square kilometres extending "from the Adelaide Hills to the Murray flats", with an estimated population of 1,800, a quarter residing in Mount Pleasant itself.

The north west portion spanning the Barossa Range and Mount Gould Range, including the townships of Mount Pleasant, Springton and Eden Valley portion went to the Barossa Council, while the larger remainder became the Palmer-Tungkillo Ward of the Mid Murray Council.
