The District Council of the Copper Coast is a local government area in the Australian state of South Australia located at the northern end of the Yorke Peninsula. It was established in 1997 and its seat is in Kadina.

The District Council of the Copper Coast is located at the northern end of Yorke Peninsula adjoining the coastline with Spencer Gulf between the settlement in Tickera in the north and the northern boundary of Nalyappa in the south.

The local government area covers an area of about 773 square kilometres (298 sq mi) of which 97.5% is used for agricultural purposes and with the remaining 2.5% (i.e. 19 square kilometres (7.3 sq mi)) being associated with three urban areas centred on the former government towns of Kadina, Moonta and Wallaroo. A fourth settlement, Paskeville, is located on the Copper Coast Highway in the east of the local government area.

The local government area’s population counted at the 2011 Census was 12,949.

The council seat is located at Kadina where its head office is located, while it maintains sub-offices at Moonta and Wallaroo.
