The District Council of Para Wirra was a local government area of South Australia from 1854 to 1935, seated at Maidstone (later called Kersbrook).
It occupied the western half of the Hundred of Para Wirra,[1] the eastern remainder being administered by the District Council of Mount Crawford, which was established the same day. The Mount Gould Range and the present-day Warren Conservation Park form what was once the boundary between Para Wirra and Mount Crawford.
