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.

Smaller towns in the area include Carrick, Hagley, Hadspen, Mole Creek, Meander, and Westbury. The council area also covers the outer west Launceston suburbs of Blackstone Heights and Prospect, and the satellite town of Hadspen.

A majority of the Great Western Tiers mountain range is within the Meander Valley municipal area.
