Camden Council is a Local Government Area in New South Wales, Australia.

Camden Council today represents a rapidly growing area on the fringe of Sydney, with many new subdivisions and the development of new suburbs. The population of Camden is expected to double or triple over the next twenty years, having already grown rapidly throughout the 1990s and the early 21st century.

The northern part of the local government area contains part of the southwest growth centre, which is expected to house a large percentage of Sydney's future population. The southern part of the local government area, including the town/suburb of Camden is more established.

The present Mayor of Camden is Chris Patterson. Deputy mayor is Cindy Cagney. Camden Council consists of nine councillors: three for each of three wards. North Ward (Bringelly, Rossmore, Leppington, Cobbitty, Oran Park, Catherine Field, Harrington Park, Smeaton Grange, Currans Hill, Kirkham) is represented by Peter Johnson, David Funnell and Cindy Cagney. Central Ward (Mount Annan, Narellan, Narellan Vale) is represented by Fred Anderson, Rob Elliott and Debby Dewbery. South Ward (Ellis Lane, Grasmere, Camden, Elderslie, Spring Farm, Bickley Vale, Cawdor, Camden South) is represented by Chris Patterson, Eva Campbell and Fred Whiteman.

At a public rally in early November 2007 the development application in the Camden area South West of Sydney on behalf of a Muslim group, the Quranic Society, for a $19 million Muslim school with the capacity for 1, 200 students, was met with protest amongst some State Members of Parliament, the local Camden Council and neighbouring residents.
