Kulai Municipal Council (Malay: Majlis Perbandaran Kulai) is the local authority of Kulai District in Johor, Malaysia. It was formerly known as Kulai District Council (Malay: Majlis Daerah Kulai, MDKu) from 1 January 1976 until 20 April 2004. The district council was upgraded to the present-day municipal council on 21 April 2004. Over the years, its administrative area increases from 123 km2 to 747 km2.

The council covers nine towns in Kulai District, namely: Kulai, Saleng, Senai, Seelong, Sengkang, Sedenak, Kelapa Sawit, Ayer Bemban and Bukit Batu. These towns had their own local councils prior to merger and formation of the then-District Council.[1]
