The City of Sydney comprises the Sydney central business district and the surrounding inner west and inner city suburbs of the greater metropolitan area of Sydney, Australia. It is a Local Government Area (LGA), and on 6 February 2004, the former LGA of the City of South Sydney was formally merged into the City of Sydney.

Suburbs within the boundaries of the City of Sydney before the merger include the actual downtown or central business district of Sydney itself, Pyrmont and Ultimo to the west, Haymarket to the south and Woolloomooloo to the east and other suburbs.
