The Cabuyao City Council (Filipino: Sangguniang Panlungsod ng Kabuyaw) is Cabuyao City's Sangguniang Panlungsod or legislative body. The council has twelve (12) members which is composed of ten (10) councilors, one (1) ex officio member elected from the ranks of barangay (neighborhood) chairmen and one (1) presiding officer. The Vice-mayor of the city is the presiding officer of the council, who is elected citywide.

The council is responsible for creating laws and ordinances under the city's jurisdiction. The mayor can veto proposed bills, but the council can override it with a two-thirds supermajority.

The council meets at the Session Hall of the Cabuyao City Hall for their regular sessions.

Membership

The session hall is located inside the Cabuyao City Hall in Barangay Sala

Each of Cabuyao's ten city councilors were elected at large by the voters of the city. In addition, the barangay chairmen and the SK chairmen throughout the city elect amongst themselves their representatives to the council. Hence, there are 12 councilors.

City council elections are synchronized with other elections in the country. Elections are held every first Monday of May every third year since 1992.

Current members

As the presiding officer, Vice Mayor Leif Laiglon A. Opiña (PDP-Laban) can only vote to break ties.
