Thurrock was a local government district and civil parish in south Essex, England from 1936 to 1974.

The parish and urban district was formed from the former area of the following civil parishes which had been abolished in 1936:

*From Grays Thurrock Urban District:
**Grays Thurrock
*From Orsett Rural District:
**Bulphan
**Corringham
**East Tilbury
**Fobbing
**Horndon-on-the-Hill
**Langdon Hills
**Little Thurrock
**Mucking
**North Ockendon (part, parish had been abolished in 1934)
**Orsett
**Stanford-le-Hope
**Stifford
**West Tilbury
*From Purfleet Urban District:
**Aveley
**South Ockendon
**West Thurrock
*From Tilbury Urban District:
**Chadwell St Mary

The district was enlarged in 1938 by gaining Little Burstead from Billericay Urban District. The district was abolished in 1974 and its former area used to create the present-day borough of Thurrock. It has since become a unitary district with largely the same boundaries.
