Shire of Lillydale
The Shire of Lillydale (note spelling difference from the suburb of Lilydale) was a local government area about  northeast of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The shire covered an area of , and existed from 1856 until 1994. History

The Lillydale Road District was first created on 19 September 1856, and became a shire on 16 February 1872. It was named after Lilly de Castella, the daughter of an Australian military officer. It lost its southwestern sections when the Borough of Ringwood (22 October 1924) and the Shire of Croydon (24 May 1961) severed from the shire and incorporated separately. On 15 December 1994, the Shire of Lillydale was abolished, and along with the Shires of Healesville and Upper Yarra, and parts of the Shire of Sherbrooke, was merged into the newly created Shire of Yarra Ranges. Council formerly met at the Shire Offices in Lilydale. The term "Labor Omnia Vincit", on the former Shire of Lillydale logo, is Latin for "Work conquers all". Wards
