Kira Town, a municipality in the Wakiso District of the Central Region of Uganda, is the country's second most populous city.

Kira Municipality is bordered by Gayaza to the north, Mukono to the east, Lake Victoria to the south, Kampala to the west, and Kasangati to the north-west.

The town is approximately 15 kilometres (9 mi) north-east of the central business district of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city.

Each division is politically led by the chairperson and a Senior Assistant Town Clerk as the technical head at that level.

Plans are underway to formulate minimum acceptable hygiene standards for private and public buildings and open spaces.
