North Yorkshire Council, known between 1974 and 2023 as North Yorkshire County Council, is the unitary authority which governs the non-metropolitan county of North Yorkshire, England. It is one of five unitary authorities which governs the larger ceremonial county of North Yorkshire. The council is based at County Hall, Northallerton, and consists of 90 councillors. It is a member of the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority.
The council has been under no overall control since 2023, having initially been under Conservative Party control following the 2022 North Yorkshire Council election. The council was previously under Conservative control from 1974 to 1993 and from 2003 to 2023. Between 1993 and 2003 it was under no overall control. The leader of the council is Conservative councillor Carl Les, appointed in 2021, and the Chief Executive is Richard Flinton.
The council was created in 1974, when local government in England was reformed and the non-metropolitan county of North Yorkshire was created, governed by a county council and seven district councils. On 1 April 2023, the districts were abolished and the county council took on their responsibilities, becoming a unitary authority.[3]
