The Valenzuela City Council (Filipino: Sangguniang Panlungsod ng Lungsod ng Valenzuela) is the local legislature of the city of Valenzuela, Philippines. It is composed of 12 councilors elected from the city's two councilor districts (coextensive with the Legislative districts of Valenzuela) and two councilors elected from the ranks of barangay (neighborhood) chairmen and the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK; youth councils). The presiding officer of the council is the Vice Mayor, who is elected citywide.
The council is responsible for creating laws and ordinances under Valenzuela's jurisdiction. The city mayor can veto proposed bills, but the council can override it with a two-thirds supermajority.
