Howick Local Board is one of the 21 local boards of the Auckland Council, and is overseen by the council's Howick ward councillors.

The board's administrative area includes the suburbs Pakuranga, Howick, Flat Bush, and East Tamaki,[3] and covers much of east and south-east Auckland.[4]

The board is governed by nine board members elected at-large. The inaugural members were elected in the nationwide 2010 local elections, coinciding with the introduction of the Auckland Council.
