Kinta ( _zh. 近打) is one of the nine administrative districts of Perak, Malaysia, and it is divided into three major councils:
*Ipoh City Council ("Majlis Bandaraya Ipoh"), based in Ipoh, the state capital of Perak
*West Kinta District Council ("Majlis Daerah Kinta Barat"), based in the town of Batu Gajah
*South Kinta District Council ("Majlis Daerah Kinta Selatan"), based in town of Kampar

According to population growth, the District Council ("Majlis Daerah") can be enlarged to Town Council ("Majlis Perbandaran") and finally to City Council ("Majlis Bandaraya"). In Malaysia, there are only three City Halls, in Kuala Lumpur, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu. Other cities in the country are managed by City Councils ("Majlis Bandaraya").

Historically, Kinta district was once famous for its tin, being one of the major tin producers in the 18 century.
