The Valongo Municipal Chamber (Portuguese: Câmara Municipal de Valongo) is the administrative authority in the municipality of Valongo. It has 4 freguesias in its area of jurisdiction and is based in the city of Valongo, on the Porto District. These freguesias are: Alfena; Ermesinde; Campo e Sobrado and Valongo.
The Valongo City Council is made up of 9 councillors,[4] representing, currently, two different political forces.

City Hall building
A new building to replace the previous city council was presented to the public in 2019[5] and started being built in 2021,[6] being halted temporarily until 2024.[7] The previous building was being used temporarily since 1989, and was in need of replacement.[5] Construction of its substitute is set to be finished by early 2026.[8]
