Yorkshire, as of 2024, is administered by numerous council areas, like most English counties. The most extensive is [[North Yorkshire|North Yorkshire Council]] (England's largest council area), with the second being East Riding of Yorkshire County Council, although neither are co-extensive with the North or East Ridings of Yorkshire. The extreme north of the county is covered by [[Durham County Council]], whilst the far north west around Sedbergh is under [[Westmorland and Furness Council]]. The Forest of Bowland forms part of the [[Lancashire County Council]] area. Other council areas that cover (either partially or wholly) areas of Yorkshire are Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council (MBC), Bradford Council, Calderdale MBC, City of Doncaster Council, Hull City Council, Kirklees Council, Leeds City Council, Middlesbrough Council, Oldham MBC, Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council, Rotherham MBC, Sheffield City Council, Stockton-on-Tess Borough Council, City of York Council and Wakefield Council.

Between the years 1889 and 1974, much of Yorkshire's land area was administered by three administrative counties or council areas; East Riding County Council, North Riding County Council and West Riding County Council. The council areas had similar boundaries to the Ridings of Yorkshire after which they were named, although some urban areas had county borough councils independent of those.
