The Provincial Deputation of Barcelona (Catalan: Diputació de Barcelona; Spanish: Diputación de Barcelona) is the local government body charged with the government and administration of the province of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.

Being the biggest provincial deputation in Spain,[8] it is the third biggest public institution in Catalonia after the Generalitat and the Barcelona City Council,[9] managing a yearly budget around €1 billion.[10][11] As is the case for all provincial councils, the Council is indirectly elected, based on the results of the municipal elections in the province.[8] The president is elected among the Council's members meet for the inaugural session after the municipal elections.

The Council's headquarters is the Casa Serra,[12] on the Rambla de Catalunya.
