The Shire of East Pilbara is one of the four local government areas in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. With an area of 372,571 square kilometres (143,850 sq mi), larger than the Australian states of Victoria and Tasmania combined, it is the largest local government region in Australia.^[3] The Shire's seat of government, and home to nearly half the Shire's population, is the town of Newman in the shire's south-west.

The Shire is divided into six wards, having a total of eleven Councillors and one Shire President:
