The Tsuen Wan District Council (Chinese: 荃灣區議會) is the district council for the Tsuen Wan District in Hong Kong. It is one of 18 such councils. The Tsuen Wan District Council currently consists of 22 members, of which the district is divided into two constituencies, electing a total of 4 members, 8 district committee members, 8 appointed members, and 2 ex officio members who is the Tsuen Wan and Ma Wan rural committee chairmen. The latest election was held on 10 December 2023.

History

The Tsuen Wan District Council was established on 1 April 1981 under the name of the Tsuen Wan District Board as one of the eight New Territories District Boards as the result of the colonial Governor Murray MacLehose's District Administration Scheme reform. However, it was regarded as among the oldest District Boards since its precursor, the Tsuen Wan New Town Recreation and Amenities (Advisory) Committee, was founded in March 1976 which gave rise to the Tsuen Wan District Advisory Board in 1977 and was retitled the Tsuen Wan District Board in 1981. The District Board was partly elected with the ex-officio Regional Council members and Tsuen Wan and Ma Wan Rural Committees' chairmen, as well as members appointed by the Governor until 1994 when last Governor Chris Patten refrained from appointing any member.

The Tsuen Wan District originally included also today's Kwai Tsing District until 1985 when a new District Board was set up for Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi due to its large population. The Tsuen Wan District Board became Tsuen Wan Provisional District Board after the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) was established in 1997 with the appointment system being reintroduced by Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa. The current Tsuen Wan District Council was established on 1 January 2000 after the first District Council election in 1999. The appointed seats were abolished in 2015 after the modified constitutional reform proposal was passed by the Legislative Council in 2010.

The Tsuen Wan District Council has been dominated by the conservative independents. Former Democratic Party Legislative Councillor Albert Chan also had a long base in the district before he gave up his seat to contest in Tuen Mun against Democrat chairman Albert Ho for the People Power. As the Democratic Party's influence slowly declined and received their territory-wide defeat in the 2007 election, the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB) gradually became the largest party in the council, returning its long-time district councillor Chan Han-pan to the Legislative Council since 2012. The Civic Party has also been established its base in Lei Muk Shue with veteran councillor Sumly Chan, while New People's Party (NPP) Michael Tien also set a foothold at the Discovery Park since 2011, until he quit the NPP in 2016.

The pro-democrats seized the control of the council in the historic landslide victory in the 2019 election amid the massive pro-democracy protests by taking 16 of the 19 elected seats in the council. The pro-Beijing camp suffered devastating defeats, with incumbent legislators Chan Han-pan failing to pass his seat to his successor and Michael Tien losing his seat to new challenger Lau Cheuk-yu of the newly-founded local-based Deliberation Tsuen Wan.
