The City of Chelsea was a local government area about 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia, on the eastern side of Port Phillip. The city covered an area of 12.23 square kilometres (4.72 sq mi), and existed from 1920 until 1994.
Chelsea was originally part of the Shire of Dandenong, and was severed and incorporated as the Borough of Carrum in May 1920. It was proclaimed the City of Chelsea on 8 May 1929.
On 15 December 1994, the City of Chelsea was abolished and merged into the newly created City of Kingston, along with the City of Mordialloc and parts of the City of Moorabbin.
Council meetings were held at Chelsea Town Hall at 316 Station Street, Chelsea. It presently serves as a council service centre and library for the City of Kingston.
The City of Chelsea was subdivided into three wards, each electing three councillors:
