Argyll and Bute Council (Scottish Gaelic: Comhairle Earra Ghàidheal is Bhòid) is one of the 32 local authorities of Scotland, covering the Argyll and Bute council area.
Thirty-six representative members make up the council, elected, since 2007, by single transferable vote and, before that, by the first-past-the-post system. The council has been under no overall control since 2007. In 2024 a coalition of the Scottish National Party, Liberal Democrats, Labour, Scottish Greens and some of the independent councillors took control of the council. It is based at Kilmory Castle at Lochgilphead.
