The City Council of Madrid (Spanish: Ayuntamiento de Madrid) is the top-tier administrative and governing body of Madrid, the capital and biggest city of Spain.

The city council is composed by three bodies; the mayor who leads the city council and the executive branch of it, the governing council (Junta de Gobierno) which is the main body of the executive branch composed by the mayor and the councillors appointed by him and the Plenary, a democratically elected assembly which represents the people of Madrid. The current mayor of Madrid is José Luis Martínez-Almeida since June 2019.

Plenary

A plenary session

The Plenary is the body of maximum political representation of citizens in the municipal government, exercises the powers that are expressly assigned to it and is made up of the mayor and the councillors. The councillors are elected on the basis of universal suffrage in a secret ballot, and in turn they determine the mayor of Madrid. Plenary sessions are public. The Plenary can operate in Committees, which will be formed by the Councillors who designate the political groups in proportion to their representation in the Plenary.[3]

The Plenary (Pleno del Ayuntamiento de Madrid) is the body formed by the elected councillors. The passing of by-laws, annual budget and taxes; the scrutiny of the council of government and the motion of no confidence on the mayor are tasks assigned to this entity in Spain.[4]

The Plenary of the City Council of Madrid is formed by the following groups for the period 2023–2027:
