The Copenhagen City Council (Danish: Københavns Borgerrepræsentation) is the municipal government of Copenhagen, Denmark, and has its seat at Copenhagen City Hall.

The city council is Copenhagen's highest political authority and sets the framework for the committees' tasks. The City of Copenhagen's government consists of an economic committee and six standing committees, each working in its own field.

The city council has 55 members (abbreviated MBs), and is chaired by the lord mayor (overborgmester),[1] who chairs the Economic Affairs Committee. The chairpersons of the six standing committees have the title of mayor (borgermester). The lord mayor, together with the six mayors and six members of the city council, make up the Economic Affairs Committee.[2] Unlike other Danish municipalities, the City of Copenhagen does not have deputy mayors, but a first and second vice-chair of the city council.
