Gilgandra Council is a local government area in the Orana region of New South Wales, Australia. It is located on the junction of the Newell Highway, Oxley Highway and Castlereagh Highway and can be reached in about six hours by car from Sydney. It lies on the Castlereagh River and includes part of the Warrumbungles National Park (the rest is in Warrumbungle Shire). The shire was constituted in 1906.

Gilgandra Council includes Gilgandra, Balladoran and Curban.

The geography of Gilgandra is very flat. The soil is composed mostly of sand, making it very porous and difficult to grow certain plants. The weather is hot and dry, reaching 40°C for consecutive days during summer.
