The City of Broadmeadows was a local government area about 20 kilometres (12 mi) north of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia.

On 1 October 1915, as part of a series of adjustments of local government boundaries in Victoria, Broadmeadows briefly absorbed Merriang Shire, a 312-square-kilometre (120 sq mi) area, including the towns of Kalkallo, Donnybrook and Wallan and dating from 1863.

The Australian Blue Book described the shire in 1949 as "comprising general farming and grazing country which stretches in a narrow strip northward from the northern suburbs of Melbourne", noting that southern areas adjoining Coburg and Essendon were "becoming definitely residential, but in other parts grazing, dairying, poultry farming and hay and grain growing is still going on".

[4] In 1951, the Housing Commission of Victoria resumed 2,270 hectares (5,600 acres) of land near Broadmeadows, and while construction proceeded at a reasonable pace, shopping and other facilities lagged behind.

On 1 April 1988, the City of Broadmeadows was subdivided into four wards, each of which elected three councillors: North: South: * Suburbs gazetted since the amalgamation.
