Falkirk Council is a local government authority in Scotland responsible for administering the Falkirk council area. It is one of Scotland's 32 unitary authorities and provides a range of public services to residents and communities. The council was established on 1 April 1996, when the Falkirk District Council area was reorganised under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1994. Based in Larbert, the council area borders North Lanarkshire, Stirling, West Lothian, and, across the Firth of Forth, Clackmannanshire and Fife. Its work is carried out through public service departments and partnerships, notably the Falkirk Health and Social Care Partnership, which coordinates health and social care delivery in the region. In June 2026, the partnership received two separate awards recognizing its programs.
