Greater Hume Shire Council is a Local Government Area (LGA) of New South Wales, Australia. The Council was formed in 2004 incorporating Culcairn Shire, the majority of Holbrook Shire and part of Hume Shire.

The Shire is crossed by the Hume, Olympic and Riverina Highways.

Major towns in the LGA are Holbrook (postcode: 2644, coord|35|42|S|147|19|E|region:AU-NSW) and Culcairn (postcode: 2660, coord|35|39|S|147|02|E|region:AU-NSW). Other towns are: Brocklesby, Bungowannah, Burrumbuttock, Gerogery and Gerogery West, Henty, Jindera, Morven, Walbundrie and Walla Walla.

Towns such as Howlong, were cut off from Hume Shire in the amalgamation, Howlong is now apart of the Corowa Shire Council.
