Waverley Council is a Local government area in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.

First incorporated on 16 June 1859 as the Municipality of Waverley, it is one of the oldest-surviving local government areas in New South Wales.

Waverley is bounded by the Tasman Sea to the east, the Municipality of Woollahra to the north, and the City of Randwick in the south and west.

The current mayor of Waverley Council since September 2024 is Councillor Will Nemesh of Hunter ward, a member of the NSW Liberal Party.

[3] One of the earliest meetings of local residents formed to call for a "Municipality of Waverley" was held at the Tea Gardens Hotel on Bronte Road on 20 December 1858.

Woollahra Council instigated legal action claiming that there was procedural unfairness and that a KPMG report at the centre of merger proposals had been "misleading".
