The Shire of Toodyay is a local government area in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, beyond the north-eastern limits of the Perth metropolitan area. The Shire covers an area of 1,694 square kilometres (654 sq mi), and its seat of government is the town of Toodyay.
In 1871, the Toodyay Road District was gazetted, and in 1877, the Municipality of Newcastle followed. The latter was abolished and merged in 1912, and on 1 July 1961, Toodyay became a shire under the Local Government Act 1960.
The Shire has been divided into 4 wards, since the Toodyay Road board meeting in June 1904.
