Llanelli Town Council (Welsh - Cyngor Tref Llanelli) is the community council that governs the majority of wards in Llanelli town. The council appoints a presiding officer who is then known as the Mayor of Llanelli.

The motto, seen in the coat of arms says "Cyfoeth Cymdeithas: Cymuned", which translates as "A society's wealth is its community".
