The '''Shire of Caboolture''' was a local government area located in the Australian state of Queensland on the northern urban fringe of the capital, Brisbane, and south of the Sunshine Coast. The Shire covered an area of {{convert|1224.4|km2|sqmi|1}}, of which approximately one-quarter was urban, and existed as a local government entity from 1879 until 2008, when it amalgamated with the City of Redcliffe and Shire of Pine Rivers to form the Moreton Bay Region, which was renamed the City of Moreton Bay in July 2023.
