The Meander Valley Council is a local government area of Tasmania. As its name suggests, it covers a large area of the Meander River in the central north of the state, which flows through the municipality's major centre of Deloraine. The council was created when the Westbury and Deloraine municipalities merged in 1993.
Smaller towns in the area include Bracknell, Carrick, Chudleigh, Hagley, Meander, Mole Creek, and Westbury. Smaller populated areas include Elizabeth Town, Caveside, Exton and Travellers Rest. The council area also covers the outer west Launceston suburbs of Blackstone Heights and Prospect Vale, and the satellite town of Hadspen.
A majority of the Great Western Tiers mountain range is within the Meander Valley municipal area.
