Shire of Avoca
The Shire of Avoca was a local government area about 180 kilometres (112 mi) northwest of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The shire covered an area of 1,124 square kilometres (434.0 sq mi), and existed from 1861 until 1994.

On 23 September 1994, the Shire of Avoca was abolished, and along with the Shires of Lexton and Ripon, was merged into the newly created Shire of Pyrenees. The district surrounding Navarre was transferred to the newly created Shire of Northern Grampians in January 1995.
The Shire of Avoca was divided into three ridings, each of which elected three councillors:
* Council seat.
