The District Council of Wakefield Plains was a local government area in South Australia from 1983 to 1997.

It was established on 1 July 1983 as a result of the amalgamation of the District Council of Balaklava, the District Council of Owen and the District Council of Port Wakefield. It was divided into seven wards: Balaklava (3 councillors), Hamley (2 councillors), Port Wakefield (2 councillors), and Avon, Goyder, Owen and Stow-Hall (1 councillor each).[1][2]

It amalgamated with the former District Council of Blyth-Snowtown to form the Wakefield Regional Council with effect from 1 July 1997.[3]
