List of local government political parties in Australia

{{short description|none}} {{politics of Australia sidebar}} In addition to political parties registered at the state and national level, a number of political parties and groups compete solely in local government elections in Australia.

Some of these parties are officially registered with electoral commissions in their respective states.<ref name="NSWEC1">{{cite web |title=Local government register of political parties |url=https://elections.nsw.gov.au/funding-and-disclosure/public-register-and-lists/register-of-parties/local-register-of-parties |publisher=New South Wales Electoral Commission}}</ref>
