City of Heidelberg
The City of Heidelberg was a local government area about  northeast of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The city covered an area of , and existed from 1840 until 1994. History

Heidelberg was first incorporated as a trust in 1840, making it one of the earliest local government formations in Australia. On 12 October 1860, it became a road district, administered by a Roads Board. It became a shire on 27 January 1871, and was proclaimed a city on 11 April 1934. In the 1960s, it lost significant sections of its territory; on 1 October 1962, the neighbouring City of Northcote annexed its South Ward, and on 30 September 1964, the Shire of Diamond Valley was created out of its mostly rural North Ward. On 15 December 1994, the City of Heidelberg was abolished, and along with parts of the Shires of Diamond Valley and Eltham, was merged into the newly created City of Banyule. A small area near La Trobe University was transferred to the City of Darebin. Council meetings were held at the Heidelberg Town Hall, on Upper Heidelberg Road, Ivanhoe. It is still used for the same purpose by the City of Banyule. Wards
