Salisbury was a local government district in Wiltshire, England, from 1974 to 2009. Its main urban area was the city of Salisbury.

Contents

The district was formed on 1 April 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, as a merger of the previous municipal boroughs of Salisbury and Wilton, along with Amesbury Rural District, Mere and Tisbury Rural District and Salisbury and Wilton Rural District.

On 1 April 2009, the district was abolished as part of the 2009 structural changes to local government in England, when its functions were taken over by the new Wiltshire Council unitary authority. At the same time, a parish council serving only Salisbury and its suburbs was formed, called Salisbury City Council.
