The District Council of Queenstown and Alberton was a local government area of South Australia established in 1864 and abolished in 1898.

The council was named for its constituent suburban townships of Queenstown and Alberton (originally Queen's Town and Albert Town, named for Queen Victoria and her consort, Prince Albert).

The council was proclaimed on 20 October 1864 and divided south east to north west by the new Port Road into two wards - one for each constituent township. The inaugural councillors appointed by the governor were James Page, Thomas Bails, Samuel Wilson, John Formby and William Wheewall.

On 2 June 1898 the council was amalgamated into the Town of Port Adelaide, the latest in what became a series of annexations of small port-side councils into the larger corporate township.
