Shropshire Council, known between 1980 and 2009 as Shropshire County Council and from 1889 to 1980 as Salop County Council, is the local authority for the non-metropolitan county of Shropshire in the West Midlands of England. Since 2009 it has been a unitary authority, having taken over district-level functions when the county's districts were abolished. The non-metropolitan county of Shropshire is smaller than the ceremonial county of the same name, the latter additionally including Telford and Wrekin. The council's headquarters are at Shirehall in Shrewsbury, the largest town in the district and the county town of Shropshire.
