The City of Wangaratta was a local government area located about 260 km northeast of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The city covered an area of 25.53 km2, and existed from 1863 until 1994. It was responsible for the urban area of Wangaratta.
History
Wangaratta was first incorporated as a borough on 19 June 1863, only nine days after the surrounding North Ovens Road District was proclaimed. On 15 April 1959, Wangaratta was proclaimed a city. It absorbed sections to its south on 31 May 1968 and 10 March 1976, and to its north on 1 October 1979, from the Shire of Wangaratta.
On 18 November 1994, the City of Wangaratta was abolished, and along with the Shires of Oxley, Wangaratta and various surrounding districts, was merged into the newly created Rural City of Wangaratta.

The city was not divided into wards, and its eight councillors represented the entire city.
