Far North District Council (abbr. FNDC; Māori: TeKauniherao Te Hiku o te Ika) is the territorial authority for the Far North District of New Zealand. It serves as the district's local government alongside the Northland Regional Council as the regional council. The current entity has existed since 1989, prior to which local government in the area was split between six local authorities.

The governing body of the council has 11 councillors and is chaired by the mayor of the Far North (currently Moko Tepania since October 2022). There also three community boards.
