The Denver City Council is the legislative branch of government for the City and County of Denver, Colorado.

Although the offices are officially non-partisan, the members are allowed to be affiliated with a political party. Most commonly in Denver history, members are almost always members of the Democratic Party. Elections for all members are held every four years; the most recent were in 2023. The council elects a president to serve as a leader annually.
