North Wiltshire is a local government district in Wiltshire, England. Its council is based in Chippenham.

It shares its name with the North Wiltshire parliamentary constituency, which has similar, but not identical, boundaries.

The district was formed on April 1, 1974, by a merger of the municipal boroughs of Calne, Chippenham, and Malmesbury along with Calne and Chippenham Rural District, Cricklade and Wootton Bassett Rural District and Malmesbury Rural District.

The district will be abolished as part of the 2009 structural changes to local government in England.
